Apple has just released iOS 10.3 to the general public, an update which is likely to be the last major release of iOS 10; at this point in the year, work usually begins in earnest on the next major release of iOS, which will be revealed at WWDC in June. The update is available for everything that runs iOS 10: the iPhone 5 and newer, the fourth-generation iPad and newer, the iPad Mini 2 and newer, both iPad Pros, and the sixth-generation iPod Touch.

The update has been going through the beta process for a couple of months now, and since it's likely to be iOS 10's last major update, we'll spend some extra time with a few of the high-profile features. I've also spent a tiny bit of time with the new APFS filesystem, which won't change much for most people but does seem to free up a small amount of local storage space.

Change is afoot" in the Settings app
