iOS 10.3 Released...

As we said, 10.3 was about to be release and it is now here...
 
iOS 3 has been released for iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, iPod touch 6th generation and later...
 
So far we know that iOS 3 has been loaded on an iPhone 7 and haven't heard of any problems so far...
 
sidenote: The Update will take about 30 minutes...
 
iOS 5 users should wait for a bit before upgrading just to make sure there are no bugs that leave you in a vulnerable state, we're keeping an eye on it...
 
In the meantime catch up on what Apple is talking about it here...
 
Apple security updates: This document lists security updates for Apple software...
 
**UPDATE**
 
Well so far the biggest problem we have heard about is people trying to update their phone without any room to do it...
iPhones don't use SD cards in any of their phones so users are forced to load all their data onto the phone, which leaves very little room to update...
 
This is one of the main reasons people don't like iPhones, but in our opinion, it's the most organized way to use a phone because you don't have to keep looking around for little chips...
 
Plus it pushes people to the cloud, and what better way to get people on the cloud then taking away their SD cards, and the cloud is the future unfortunately...
 
sidenote: You can get 50gb of iCloud storage for 99 cents a month...
 
It's hard to imagine going from Terabyte hard drives and 25" screens to 16gb hard drives and a 4 1/2" screen :-D, but we are...
 
Speaking of tiny little things, remember that you need to leave at least 1.5gb of space on your phone in order to receive optimal performance...
 
If you need more space for an iOS update...
 
What is the true formatted storage capacity of an iPhone, iPad or iPod - how many songs, films, apps and games can they hold...

**UPDATE**

We've heard that series 6 phones have experienced some slowness after the updates, but 7 seems to be fine, still waiting on the results of 5 series phones...

Which begs the question...do they ever use their phone...

It's just another example of techs being techs and not using their devices like an End User would...

Example: Role Play...

tech: What kind of phone do you have...
end user: I don't know...
tech: go to settings/general/about/Model now tell me what you see...
end user: MN9E2LL/A
tech: okay, so now you know what kind of phone you have...
end user: I don't remember buying a MN9E2LL/A phone of any kind...
tech: well who's phone is it...
end user: It's mine...
tech: But you said that you don't remember buying an MN9E2LL/A phone...
end user: I don't...
tech: well then it must be someone else's phone...
end user: no, it's my phone...

You see where this is going, the answer is iPhone 7, that's the phone they originally purchased, was an iPhone 7, but the eekblokbluke code is MN9E2LL/A which tells the end user NOTHING...

Try to think like an End User from time to time, sure we know that the eedblokbluke code of MN9E2LL/A is an internal product code, but it doesn't help the end user much when they are asked what kind of phone they have...

Here's an idea, just put iPhone 7, (MN9E2LL/A) this way you accomplish both an internal solution and an external solution or a Real World solution...

sidenote: You love using Parenthesis :-) so put the model # in () and preface it with the Friendly name, the end user name, iPhone 7, 6 5 etc...

The other thing we noticed is that you can't hold the arrow key on the text keyboard to capitalize your letters, like a Caps Lock would do...

This is obviously some politically correct thing for Apple to prevent making it easy to YELL on the internet, but remember, techs, that WOOHOO is also another form of yelling, they call it EXCITEMENT...
 
OOOPS, we made a mistake, because we're a noob :-D Apple does have the ability to do Caps, you have to "double" tap the Arrow, sorry Apple...
 
**UPDATE**
 
We now have confirmation on Apple 5s and 5c, and no problems were reported with the latest update...
 
Apple Fixes 223 Vulnerabilities Across macOS, iOS, Safari...
 
If you haven't updated yet, it's time you do, just make sure you plug your device in and turn off the autolock, have a nice day...

**UPDATE**

iTunes 12.6 is reporting issues with an unexpected error when it crashes...

If you haven't upgraded your iTunes, but have updated your iOS you're perfectly fine, because iTunes is your backup...

It's best to update your iTunes after you update your iOS because you'll lose your ability to recover from a bad iOS update...

Right now the error is only being reported with Windows 10...
 
Remember, it's the process we enjoy, Einstein says, "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new"...

We are now hearing about reports with Windows 7 as well as people having problems with iTunes 12.6 update, but no other Operating System as of yet, coincidence...we think not...
 
One difference between Apple and Windows users are Apple users don't believe in loading malware prevention for their computers whereas Windows users do, so try to disable your malware program first before upgrading...
