Update 9.3 did not pass the test because

The release of the final version of the iOS 9.3 update is expected on Monday, March 21. On the eve of the long-awaited release, it's time to prepare the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad for the transition to a new OS. Of course, if at all you plan to update the device. In this article we will tell you how to check the gadget for compatibility, “clean” the operating system and perform other necessary procedures.

The main innovation in iOS 9.3 is the Night Shift mode, which independently adjusts the color temperature of the screen of a mobile device depending on the time of day. Also iOS 9.3. allows you to protect individual entries in the Notes application with a password and Touch ID. The OS has new sections in the Health application with information about user activity, and video support and horizontal mode have been added to the Apple News news aggregator.

Apple has been distributing test builds of iOS 9.3 since January this year, but for the first time, the final version of the OS will be publicly available.

1. Check compatibility

The list of supported iOS 9.3 devices includes all models of smartphones and tablets that support iOS 9.0. If iOS 8 is installed on your gadget, you can also upgrade to the new platform.

  • iPhone 6s Plus
  • iPhone 6s
  • iPhone 6 Plus

  • iPad 4
  • iPad 3
  • iPad 2
  • iPad mini 3
  • iPad mini 2
  • iPad mini
  • iPod touch 6G
  • iPod touch 5G

In the list of compatible devices you can see outdated iPhone 4s or iPad mini. Some users are afraid to upgrade to iOS 9.3 due to possible performance issues. The owners of one of these devices should not worry about this. One of the tasks that iOS 9.3 solves is fixing bugs and improving performance. In any case, you should not expect any deterioration in work.


It will not be superfluous to note that not all iOS 9.3 features will be available on supported devices. In particular, the Night Shift function, which contributes to faster falling asleep after using a mobile device before bedtime, will be received only. These include iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, iPod touch 6G, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro.

  • iPhone 4s
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 5c
  • iPad mini
  • iPad 4
  • iPad 3
  • iPad 2
  • iPod touch 5G

2. Clean the gadget

It makes sense for users to part with unused software. This measure is not mandatory, but it never hurts to get rid of unnecessary applications before installing a fresh update. When you uninstall software, you don’t lose anything - you can restore any game or application from the App Store.


3. Back up data

Many use the iPhone and even the iPad as their primary gadget for taking photos and videos. And hardly anyone wants to lose the important moments of their lives captured in digital images by unsuccessfully updating the firmware. To save photos or videos securely, we recommend that you back up. This can be done through iTunes, and through iCloud. This will double your chances of successful recovery of information in case of loss.


iTunes: connect the mobile device to the computer, launch iTunes, select it in the top panel and click Create backup.

iCloud: on your i-gadget, go to Settings -\u003e iCloud -\u003e Storage and copies -\u003e Create copy.

4. Jailbreak?

Since MacDigger actively monitors jailbreak trends in the Apple world, our first responsibility is to warn users of jailbroken iGadgets that there are currently no jailbreak exploits for iOS 9.3. When upgrading to a new OS, you will lose the current jailbreak. At the same time, it is not possible to return to older versions of iOS.


There is information that Taig is preparing an exploit for jailbreak iOS 9.3. However, this information is still classified as rumor. It is worth waiting for official statements, and then update the gadget to the new OS. The best option now is to remain on the old OS until it becomes clear whether the jailbreak for iOS 9.3 will come out or not. Everything should be decided in the coming days.

5. Wait for release

After performing the above steps, you just have to wait for the evening and install the OS. After Apple will release the final version of iOS 9.3. To install the update on iPhone and iPad it will be enough to go to the settings of the operating system and in the menu General -\u003e Software Update confirm the firmware download.

Our resource has a separate article "", which is fully devoted to the latest update and first impressions of users about the work and performance of their i-devices after the upgrade. Nevertheless, we decided to post in a separate post a topic about possible problems and errors that you may encounter after installing the build. So let's go!

iOS 10.2: problems after installation

Immediately make a reservation that at the moment all these errors in iOS 10.2 are single in nature, but they are fixed. Global problems have not yet been noted, but there are cases that several mobile users have encountered at once.

So, the first thing worth mentioning: some "users" after updating to iOS 10.2 noticed that their smartphone or tablet might suddenly reboot. Unfortunately, it was not possible to identify the reason for the reboots - all of them are random in nature. This is most likely a bug.

The second mistake in iOS 10.2 is the inability to connect the "apple" device to iTunes. And that’s all, after installing the update. And someone could not even unlock their iPhone using the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Is it really the installation of iOS 10.2 that influenced the biometric sensor? Fortunately, so far all these troubles are not global in scope.

There are more serious cases, and they immediately affected several users of the iPhone and iPad. Most often, owners of iOS devices complain about the battery life of their device. The essence of the complaints is as follows: as soon as the battery reaches 30%, the device turns off. For some, this is already happening at around 50%. Someone says that the phone can be discharged from 50% to 25% in a matter of minutes, which is rather strange.

The next bug in iOS 10.2 is related to using standard EarPods. By the way, if you didn’t use them often, you might not have noticed this bug. Some people say they don’t hear the sound in their headphones while talking. We hope that Apple will deal with this problem in the very near future.

Note that a rather lengthy testing of the firmware was preceded by both developers and ordinary users who applied for participation in a public test drive of Apple software. Nevertheless, the firmware was not ideal, although some devices still added speed.

Apple works with its own unique operating system called iOS. It is designed for Apple products. Both mobile phones and tablets work with it. But, like any other software, iOS becomes obsolete over time. In the end, it has to be modernized and improved.

Today, Apple has iOS 10. How to install it on a smartphone or tablet? What is new in this operating system? Which devices can it be installed on, and which "apple" products can not cope with the load of new software? Answers to all these questions will be given below. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. Even the novice device owner from Apple will cope with the task.

Design

First, a few words about what awaits users in the 10th version of iOS. The design of this operating system as a whole remained the same. It looks standard, but some icons and components have been changed anyway.

For example, the notification window looks new, the Siri icon has changed its appearance, standard applications are also updated. Each element of iOS 10 has something new, but in general the design, as already mentioned, remains the same. The OS has added new desktop wallpapers that are in perfect harmony with the icons.

Performance

A review of iOS 10 showed that the performance of this software has grown. Smartphones and tablets started to work faster due to the excellent system optimization.

The battery after installing this software was also improved. The battery charge will be consumed more slowly. This effect is achieved by reducing hardware requirements when working with different applications.

New in iOS

Of course, iOS 10 has some innovations. There are a lot of them. Some say that even half of the innovations would be enough for people to want to install this software.

An overview of iOS 10, presented to your attention, will introduce the main changes in the operating system. So, users get:

  1. New notification center. Now it will be possible to view all the information contained in a particular message. The design of the buttons "on the plane", Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, too, there were changes. These items turn red when on.
  2. New Siri. Now this application will be able to open programs and work with them directly. For example, Siri can be asked to send money from an electronic wallet or to find a specific picture.
  3. Quick Type. The writing assistant has also become smarter. He began to recognize the style of the text and offered appropriate hints. IOS 10 has a feature that looks for a phone number that an interlocutor can ask for.
  4. Photo. This application has slightly changed its design. In addition, with iOS 10, Apple devices have learned to recognize faces and individual objects.
  5. HomeKit. This is Apple’s new app that lets you control your smart home system. This program works both on tablets and on phones. Even on the Apple Watch, the Home Kit will function.
  6. Back to app feature. Moving from one program to another and vice versa is now even easier. The "Back to Application" icon will appear in the status bar. This is a square with rounded corners, in which the name of the previously launched software will be written.

These are far from all the changes that the iOS 10 update has. For example, users will be able to get acquainted with updated maps, messages and watches. The main thing is that this software is really improved.

release date

And when will it be possible to get acquainted with this OS? The release date of iOS 10 has long been in doubt. This software was first discussed at WWDC in 2016. From that moment, people began to wait for a new "apple" system.

Before its appearance, it was possible to download the beta version of iOS 10. For the first time, it became available for download on September 13, 2016.

Today it is still unknown when the final version of this software will be released. It is being finalized all the time. They try to clean up known errors, failures and malfunctions disappear. From 04/17/2017, users can enjoy changes to the software version 10.3.3 beta 1. The release date for iOS 10.3.2 is May 15, 2017.

What starts

Many users are interested in which devices the operating system will work on. After all, updating software on smartphones and other mobile devices is an almost irreversible process.

iOS 7 worked with all Apple devices. But in the 10th version of the operating system, this feature is not observed. IOS 10 update does not work with some old devices from Apple. This information has long been confirmed.

iOS 10 is combined with iPhones from the 5th version and higher. iPhone 4 and older phones will not work properly with this operating system. iPad "mini" (from 2nd to 4th version), "air" (1, 2), "pro" and iPad 4 are also combined with "iOS 10". 6G is the latest device on which the software under study is supported.

iPhone 4 and iOS 10

Some people are interested in how to install iOS 10 on iPhone 4. Can this be done? After all, the developers claim that this software is not supported on older smartphones and tablets.

Theoretically, installing "iOS 10" on "iPhone 4" is possible. But the hardware of this smartphone is too weak. Therefore, working with iOS 10 on the iPhone 4 is almost impossible.

Update Methods

Now a little about how you can get this software. This is actually easier than it sounds. How to put iOS 10 on one or another "apple" phone / tablet?

To do this, you can use the following methods:

  • installing new software from a mobile device.
  • iOS 10 beta was usually downloaded from the official page of the developer, and then installed on the desired device. But direct iPhone updates have some nuances. What should I look for?

    To install via iTunes

    For example, to prepare for the process. Each of the proposed methods has its own characteristics. When working with iTunes, you will have to prepare some inventory.

    Namely:

    • the gadget on which the operating system will be installed;
    • USB cable for connecting to a PC;
    • the latest version of iTunes
    • the presence of connected Internet on the computer.

    This will be enough. How to install iOS 10 on iPhone or any other "apple" device? This will be discussed later!

    Via iTunes

    Let's start by using iTunes. This technique is used by the bulk of users. It often minimizes the likelihood of a failed update. In addition, the failure to install iOS 10 when using "IT" is a huge rarity.

    To initialize "AiOS", it is necessary:

    1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC.
    2. Connect the smartphone using a USB cable to the computer.
    3. Launch IT. Wait for device synchronization.
    4. Go to the "General" section. On the screen, find the "Update" button and click on it.
    5. Accept the process and wait for the process to complete. After the installation of the operating system is completed, the phone will reboot.

    That's all. All necessary service packs will be automatically found and initialized to the phone / tablet.

    From mobile

    But this is not the only scenario. iOS 10 can also be installed using a mobile phone or tablet. No additional programs and applications will be required - the old OS itself will cope with the task.

    How to install iOS 10 on iPhone without PC? To do this, you need:

    1. Turn on the iPhone and wait for it to fully download.
    2. Connect the Internet (Wi-Fi) to the mobile device. Without it, the update will not work.
    3. Go to the "Settings" - "General" section.
    4. Find the line "Software Update". Click on it.
    5. Accept the process and wait a while.

    During this process, the necessary update packages will be automatically searched. Next, the software download will begin. This process takes a lot of time - the weight of the system is about 1 GB. It is not recommended to work with a mobile phone while loading "iOS 10".

    Crashes

    Any initialization may fail. It’s clear how to install iOS 10 on a particular “apple” device. But what if a failure occurs during initialization?

    When working with iTunes, these phenomena are not observed. Usually during failures you need:

    • restore the Internet;
    • restart iTunes;
    • resume content updates.

    You will have to act a little differently if the update is "over the air" (directly from the smartphone). In the event of initialization failures, it is necessary to resume loading iOS 10 through ITuns. This is the only way to successfully complete the procedure. For example, if during installation the phone is discharged and turned off.

    About profile

    Among other things, it is important to pay attention to the profile under which the owner of the mobile device will continue to work. It's no secret that people with devices from Apple have the so-called Apple ID. This is a profile that helps to use all applications of devices, as well as make backup copies of data and restore them.

    Create a new profile for iOS 10 is not necessary. You can use the old Apple ID account. Authorization will be possible immediately after updating the operating system.

    Backups

    It’s clear how to install iOS 10. But before you realize the idea, you need to worry about the security of the user's data. To do this, the "apple" devices have a backup function.

    Before initializing the operating system on the iPhone, you will need to use the data backup function. Usually this task is realized through:

    • iTunes
    • iCloud application built into the phone.

    If desired, you can back up your Apple ID profile using third-party content. But this is an extremely rare scenario.

    Before installing iOS 10, the user needs:

    • Turn on the smartphone.
    • Go to the Settings menu - iCloud.
    • Click on the line "Backup".
    • Select the function "Create a copy" and confirm the action.

    This is the fastest solution to the problem. Via iTunes, a copy is created like this:

    • Connect iPhone to PC. Launch iTunes.
    • Go to the "Overview" section after synchronizing the phone with the computer.
    • Select the "Create backup" button.
    • Complete the process by following the instructions on the PC screen.

    As soon as a new version of the software is installed, the phone will offer to restore the Apple ID profile data. If desired, the user can make a backup or start working with a "clean" operating system.

    Latest Beta Version

    As already mentioned, today there is a beta version of iOS 10. It was released on April 17, 2017. Has the number 10.3.3. This OS needs to be given special attention.

    The fact is that iOS 10 beta (build 10.3.3) will not work with all Apple mobile devices. The update is not available for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C. On other iPhones, the software runs without much difficulty.

    Beta Installation

    How to install iOS 10 beta? To do this, before it was possible to use all the software update methods listed above. At the same time, the user could roll back the system to iOS 9 at any time.

    Installing iOS 10 beta most often comes down to the following actions:

    1. Sign up for beta testing. To do this, you need to create a profile on the Beta Apple website.
    2. Mark iOS section if it was not active earlier.
    3. Click on the "Register devices" button.
    4. Click on "Download Profile". Click on the "Install" button several times.
    5. Click on Reboot.

    Now it remains to use the "Software Update" function on the iPhone. On the mobile phone, iOS 10 beta will be detected. It will be installed on the device after confirming the software update.

    Summary and Conclusions

    Now it’s clear how you can install iOS 10. Making it a lot easier than it sounds. The main thing is to consider the compatibility of this software with mobile phones.

    Today, many owners of "apple" gadgets work with iOS7-iOS9. Its 10th version is in demand, but at the same time it has a number of shortcomings. Therefore, the bulk of users prefer to work with old software. In any case, it is now clear how you can upgrade to iOS 10.
