Apple recently rolled out an update for iPhones and iPads with the release of iOs v10.3 that reportedly comes equipped with a new file system and also helps in improving the overall performance of the smartphone. Released last week, it underwent a lengthy beta phase.

With the new update, Apple has moved from HFS+ to APFS or Apple File Storage system that is the major change part of the new iOs 10.3 update. With the new modern file storage in place now, it seems that reviews indicate that it isn't any better than the existing system on their macintosh devices. APFS is purely optimized for SSD storage and flash processes with their main focus still relying on encryption.

A new report from 9To5Mac claims that the new update reportedly has a glitch that enables all previously disabled services related to the iCloud.  Users apparently discovered that all their previously disabled features were turned back right on by the update without their knowledge. The automatic process was later discovered to be a result of a software glitch part of the iOs 10.3 update.

Going into the details from the original report from MacRumours, Apple has acknowledged the issue on the new iOs 10.3 update and has sent out emails to all users cautioning them about the glitch. The email revealed that Apple asked users to re-check their iCloud settings to make sure everything remained the same prior to the update.

At the moment, it's currently being determined as to what's the actual cause of the glitch in the new iOS 10.3 update. The report also mentions that not all iCloud services have been affected by the glitch. However, an updated report mentioned that Apple has reverted back stating that the iCloud photo library, keychain and find my iPhone were not affected by the glitch.
