Apple Releases iOS 10.3.2 With Multiple Bug Fixes and Security Updates

What happened with your S3? My battery life was cut in half, GPS was so far off it was unusable and I use it a lot. I swapped to a 6 Plus when that happened. It was my first Apple product.

I could be wrong here but didn't the 4.04 enable device encryption which was similar what happened to iOS 7 and iPhone 4.
The difference with Android 4.04 was that you could turn it off to boost performance.

They have everyone's browsing history & full digital footprint. Not really news & nothing anyone can do to mask it. VPN's are not a solution either. The VPN providers infrastructure & ISP's captures everything which in turn the NSA have access too...

No phone is, especially those phones sold commercially.

Because initially when the iPhone launched on iOS 10 and other incremental updates there after , some models were experiencing their iPhones being Bricked. It also Bricked some iPads as well. And the only method was to restore through iTunes. So there is some initial hesitancy and rightfully I can understand that for some who have had unfortunate/inconvenience situations.

Aside from some bricking on iOS updates, watchOS 3 .1 .1 also bricked some Apple Watches after that initial update. So It didn't just affect iPhones as well, as it did the Apple Watch. And this was all within the last six months.

Bottom line, worrisome does spread rather quickly when you have multiple Apple devices across the board that were being Bricked. So it does create some sort type of hypochondria.

Internet forums tend to give a very skewed perspective of how common such issues actually are. A handful of failures out of millions of devices.

I was reading an article about this sort of thing recently. Human beings are actually very bad at risk assessment. We worry about things that have a 1 in a million chance of happening to us, but don't think twice about things that are much more likely. I don't think that 1 in every 10 000 iOS devices get bricked by regular updates. That would be huge news! On the other hand, in many states you have higher odds than that of dying in a car crash (https://www.thrillist.com/cars/nati...-us-state-the-most-dangerous-roads-in-america). Yet people get in their cars every day without a though, while fearing to update their phone...

Sure, I'm very well aware of tech hypochondria on Macrumors and others see it as Their world is upside down when one user reports A bricked Apple device. But the reality is it did happen and it was enough of a reason for Apple to have a response towards The situation on how to restore the bricked devices rather via iTunes or sending it in for repair. (Which iOS 10 affected iPads and iPhones) And the same applies to the Apple Watch with the watchOS 3 .1 .1 update bricking those devices (More specifically, Series 2) where Apple responded to this issue as well. So they are very well aware of more mass numbers than just a handful. Especially when it draws their attention to respond to it.

Either way, technology is not perfect and neither is Apple, but at least they have a reputation that they ackknowledge with their products/software support. So there is some reassurance for those who do encounter those issues.

There won't be a 10.4. It didn't show up in logs. The only "evidence" was a bug report saying something would be fixed in 10.4. Way too close to WWDC. We will have 11.0 Beta 1 in 3 weeks today.

Well....not 10.4, but something released today so, it's not too close to WWDC for more 10.X releases...

10.3.3 vs 10.4 are entirely different. X.x.x released are for bug fixes. X.x are for features. The former need fewer betas. It wasn't until last year that Apple even sent X.x.x versions into beta.

I'm always interested to know what this means. How have the lags and stalls completely disabled your iPhone 6?
My iPhone 6 lags on iOS 10 but it doesn't interfere with my use in any big way.
Do you have a video maybe?

while opening any app or pressing home button to get out of sleep mode, there is a noticeable lag between the user input, and the recognition of the input. this applies on every and all actions between the user and the device.
 
just out of curiosity decided to run atutu before and after update

6s plus

before update 10.3 - 135512

Phone got too slow (no Android pure but modified by the phone company sadly). Same battery life was cut in half. I swapped to a 6s after 3 years of using the S3.

Apple today released iOS 10.3.2 to the public, following several weeks of testing and four betas. iOS 10.3.2 comes six weeks after the release of iOS 10.3, a major update that introduced a new Find My AirPods feature and Apple File System. It also comes more than a month after iOS 10.3.1, a security update.

iOS 10.3.2 is a free over-the-air update available to all users with a compatible device. It can also be downloaded and installed on iOS devices using iTunes on a Mac or PC.

There were no outward-facing changes or new features discovered during the beta testing process, aside from a small fix for SiriKit car commands, which are now working as intended.

It appears iOS 10.3.2 focuses primarily on bug fixes, security enhancements, and other minor operating system improvements.

iOS 10 will soon be followed by iOS 11, which we will see introduced at Apple's June Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California. We still have several months to go until iOS 11 is released to the public, so there are likely to be continued iOS 10 updates.

I am getting frequents reconnecting disruptions in FaceTime after the update today.
[doublepost=1494992721][/doublepost]I am getting frequent reconnecting disruptions in FaceTime after the update today. Every two minutes it shows reconnecting message and I have checked my internet and there is no problem in internet connectivity.
 
I tried out Siri in my car again to see if I could send a Whatsapp, but once again it's blocked "as I'm driving".

Is this the whole flipping point of Siri?! So I can safely use my phone while driving or doing other tasks?!!?!!?!?

Apple are quite happy to let me use Siri to send iMessages, set reminders, alarms or make calls, but goodness forbid, it could be lethal with Whatsapp when driving.

Utterly ridiculous.

I'm getting totally peeved off with Apple's unwillingness to allow for healthy competition. This is the other reason I refuse to use CarPlay. Utter junk until they open up the SDK to allow apps like Sygic, TomTom and Google to fit into their UI.

Another update which will undoubtedly slow the phone down and push people more towards the new iPhone.

Either that or the developers increasing the iOS requirements for their apps will inevitably force you to buy a new iPhone, iPad or a (Mac). Unfortunately you can't stop this process of technological obsolescence even though I would want to.

I don't sync with any devices, maybe that has something to do with it?
I know that the persistant cookies or supercookies is a problem on Safari on MacOS, and since they share code, I'm guessing this is something that might have been adressed in the lastest patch for MacOS (10.12.5).

So update the Mac as well and see it that solves it. My logic here is that if you can't delete the cookies on Safari on the Mac they will sync to your i-device.

Another option is to stop syncing and see if you can delete the web data from your iOS device.

Let the world know what your findings are :)

I can confirm that the persistent cookie issue has been solved for me on iOS with this update. It was very annoying. I do not sync any safari data with other devices. It would make sense that the issue would continue if a Mac is continuing to sync the cookies back to the phone.

Thanks. And how long a lag are we talking?

To assume iOS is a superior platform or somehow immune from attack just seems very naive to me.

Considering also it was only a month or so ago when there were claims Apple had lost 100million iCloud account usernames / passwords.

I'd like to think Apple was on the ball. But it only takes one clever person to unleash something catastrophic on the world.

Stay safe - back up regularly.
 
Tried to update via iTunes and received an Error 4000. Second attempt seems to be installing.

They will probably enable this at some point, but to go on a rant about it not being enabled in a 10.3.2 patch is a bit extreme. IF Apple would enable it im sure they would announce it on the list of "added features" that comes with the patch.

I wouldn't call it an "addition". More of an "enabling" of a product that already exists. I just find it ridiculous that Apple work this way.

The first step in actually getting anything to work is to open Siri up to 3rd party developers, this has been done fairly recently. The next step is to deliver a SAFE and working car solution, and for that you need Siri plus 3rd party developers that create products that work in the CarPlay environment.
Since iMessage work quite differently in the car I there must be some redesign to many messaging apps for Apple to approve them.

My guess is that this is something that will be introduced with iOS 11 since Android is already there.
