Apple Announces iOS 9.3 is Launching Today [Updated]

[KSean]

Software update on iPhone says I'm up to date at 9.2.1 but iTunes says update available - 9.2.1

Odd.

That's the updated build of 9.2.1 to fix the Touch ID "Error 53" issue. There's no point updating (unless you have that particular issue with 3rd party home button replacements).

I hope this doesn't kill my LTE like all the betas did... I think its going to drop at 12:00 pm pacific time. Ladies and gents, get your fingers ready for all the tapping and/or clicking!

That's the 9.2.1 update to solve the Touch ID issue bricking certain phones. Only available via an iTunes update, not OTA.

Me too. Interesting. I'll wait for 9.3 OTA. Shouldn't be long now.

I'm on Beta 7 and Software Update shows that I'm up to date.

It's not out yet.

Ah, read in this post that someone was downloading. Never mind!

 

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

Downloaded, installed and running now. Good stuff. Downloading it on my other iOS devices now.

 

[UKFan643]

Downloading now.

I was hoping they'd announce a few more features for the News app to be honest. I hate that there's no 'end' to the news stream. I used to love using Zite cause you'd eventually run out of stories and you felt like you'd seen everything and you'd return later. But Apple News just gives you endless lists of articles and you have to actively decide to abandon it.

I was a great fan of Zite too. Presumably no down-vote option in the News app? It needs one.

It's not out yet.

It is

 

[testcard]

Downloading now on iPhone 6 in UK.

 

[C DM]

Yes it's out now. It wasn't when the post was made. Is that really that hard to grasp?

 

[legacyb4]

Sweet, super-fast download too!

 

[pietrodn]

Out as OTA upgrade, not yet on iTunes (for me).

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Out now.

 

[kd8nzg]

Downloading it now, 1.4 gb.

 

[frumpy16]

Downloading it now, 1.4 gb.

Interesting! 310MB for me. Downloading OTA now.

And here I am thinking it was just me...I've been having that issue for the past few weeks (trying to see if 9.3 got pushed through). I'm doing an OTA update on both my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 right now since I don't know what's going on with iTunes.

 

[gluckett]

I don't think it's actually dropped yet. Give it a few hours.

Also- so no corresponding WatchOS update today? This seemed like the obvious time to release it alongside the iOS update and new bands.

Yes there is:
