After almost two months of betas, the guys from Cupertino took advantage of the afternoon (Spanish time) yesterday to launch the final versions of iOS 10.3, tvOS 10.2, watchOS 3.2 and macOS 10.12.4. Many have been the users who have expressed their discomfort when be forced to update to iOS 10.3 to be able to take advantage of the new functions offered by the latest great update of watchOS, the operating system of the Apple Watch.
Throughout the 7 betas that Apple has released of iOS 10.3, I have been able to check how operation and performance were practically the same, although it is true that there is some improvement in its speed, one of the novelties of this iOS update that is due to the implementation of the new Apple File System (APFS).
The implementation of this new file system is one of the reasons why the update, despite not exceeding the GB, it took longer than necessary to install. But is our device really faster with iOS 10.3 than with iOS 10.2.1? The guys from iApple Bytes have got down to work to check it out and show us different videos in which we can see from the startup time of each device to the opening of each and every one of the applications that are installed natively with iOS 10.
If you are a cautious person and you are not one of the first to install each new version that Apple launches on the market until you receive enough information about its operation, then I leave you the four videos that these guys have made, so you can check if your iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s works the same or better than the version of iOs 10.2.1.
Speed test on an iPhone 5 with iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3
Speed test on an iPhone 5s with iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3
Speed test on an iPhone 6 with iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3
Speed test on an iPhone 6s with iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3
It is always advisable to update our device to the latest versions of iOS, in order to enjoy all the security improvements that come from the updates and, incidentally, take advantage of the new functions that each version brings us.
In version 10.3 there is no way to clear the cache, it keeps accumulating until all the space is consumed
Yes, indeed the battery doctor app does not work, I imagine that they should update it to the new filesystem if there is a possibility
Why never do the test with the i7 ???
Good night to me doing a clean restoration to 10.3 on an iPhone SE, before synchronizing any application or photos etc, being clean in iTunes in the bar below in Others it appears 4,5 GB and I have restored it twice believing that it would be my error, but it is as if it started with 4,5 GB of less, on the other hand in the iPhone if these 4,5 GB are in the free capacity.
I do not know if it is from iOS 10,3 or is it from iTunes (I have the latest update installed) so far with the other Firmwares it had never happened to me, otherwise it goes well.
Good night, I do not know if you have observed any but to me on an iPhone SE I have restored to iOS 10.3 twice believing that it would be my fault and it remains the same, doing a restoration as a new iPhone in the bar below in iTunes in Others appears 4,5, 4,5 GB and I have not yet synchronized any application or photos or anything, being clean restored as a new iPhone, that is, as who says you start with 4,5 GB less, so far in no other firmware this has happened to me, I do not know If it will be from this firmware or it is from iTunes (latest version installed) instead those XNUMX GB in the free space of the iPhone if they exist and in iTunes they are put in Others.
Greetings.

I have an iPhone 5s and the truth is that the installation of iOS 10 and its versions (2 .; 3.1) is extremely slow, I write a letter and it hangs I have to press the off button every time and wait a few seconds to to be able to continue writing or viewing photos… .. what can I do… who helps me? Thank you
The iPhone 5 with iOS 10.3 is doing really well. I particularly use it almost daily and have no complaints. You should restore it from scratch to see the improvement that iOS 10 supposes in this terminal.
