Apple has today released iOS 10.3 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The latest update includes support for a new file system, Find my AirPods, CarPlay improvements, and more.
iOS 10.3 is the first version to include Find my AirPods support. As the name insists, it will help users find their AirPods if misplaced by playing a loud, high-pitched sound. The update also includes a new warning for 32-bit applications presumably not being supported in iOS 11.
Here’s a list of new features we found during the beta period:
- Find My AirPods added to Find My iPhone app
- Siri support for cricket scores from Indian Premier League and International Cricket Council
- Safari support for Reduced Motion preference
- Prominent user security section in Settings app
- iOS 10.3 uses new Apple File System (APFS) which may free up some space
- Podcasts app has a widget like Music app, same app design
- New system level way for developers to request app rating, opt out option in Settings
- CarPlay status bar has persistent quick access to media, communication, and travel apps for quick switching without accessing the Home screen
- CarPlay gains quick access to albums from songs in Music, new Up Next screen
- Weather data in Maps app now has 3D Touch forecast
