It is not the first time you read it, Apple has relieved the HSF + system present in iOS by its well-known Apple File System, in this way it intends to improve the way in which data is moved within the file storage memories in the devices of the Cupertino company. This new file format is very promising, however, it is necessary to know what it consists of and why it could result in a real improvement of the device What does the arrival of the Apple File System mean with iOS 10.3? That is what we want to review today, to know if it will really improve performance of our older iOS devices, or it will stay in theory.
First of all, supposedly the Apple File System will format our iOS devices, but don't get your hands on it so fast, you won't lose absolutely any files, although a backup before updating to iOS 10.3 you could use nothing bad.
Theoretically, this will increase data transition performance on iOS devices. when the content is encrypted, the alleged scourge of iOS in these terms. However, the actual performance is quite evident as soon as iOS 10.3 boots up, what some applications take to load is slightly faster, no frills, but it is present. But this Apple File System will not be exclusive to iOS, it also comes to macOS, although more gradually.
In this way, this intelligent storage system will calculate the capacity of the device, managing the files better, at least allowing to move and copy them in a lighter way. Apple has been testing the APFS this WWDC 2016 and generally the developers have been quite satisfied with this new file system. In the absence of more extensive testing, It remains for us to check whether or not this affects battery consumption.
