Apple today released iOS 11.3, the twelfth official update to the iOS 11 operating system that first came out in September of 2017. iOS 11.3 comes more than a month the launch of iOS 11.2.6, a minor update that fixed a bug causing crashes due to the incorrect rendering of a character in the Indian language Telugu.
The iOS 11.3 update is available on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the update, go to Settings --> General --> Software Update. Eligible devices include the iPhone 5s and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPad Air and later, and the 6th-generation iPod touch.
iOS 11.3 is a major update that introduces a long list of new features, including several that Apple has been promising for months. The update introduces a new "Battery Health" feature that's designed to provide iOS users with more information about their batteries, and it is a function Apple promised to introduce following backlash over the power management features added to older iPhones.
Battery Health offers details on maximum battery capacity and peak performance capability, and for devices with degraded batteries, it provides information on if and when a device is being throttled with performance management features. It also provides a way for customers who do have a device with a degraded battery to turn off performance management all together.
By default, iOS 11.3 disables performance management on the iPhone, and the feature is only re-enabled once a device experiences an unexpected shutdown. Battery Health is only for the iPhone, but on the iPad, Apple is introducing new iPad charge management for tablets that are plugged in for long periods of time.
iOS 11.3 introduces ARKit 1.5, a new version of ARKit that will allow developers to do even more with augmented reality apps. ARKit 1.5 more accurately maps irregularly shaped surfaces, has image and object recognition, and allows virtual objects to be placed on vertical surfaces like walls.
The iOS 11.3 update includes a new Health Records feature in the U.S. that aggregates all of your medical records in one easy-to-access place (as long as you have a participating provider). Apple has outlined participating medical providers and offered up details on Health Records in a press release shared today.
There are four new Animoji (dragon, bear, skull, and lion) on the iPhone X in iOS 11.3, and updates have been made to some existing standard emoji, as outlined by Emojipedia. The lion emoji, for example, is a little less sad, while the skull emoji has gained a jaw.
There are also several other smaller features worth noting in iOS 11.3. A new "For You" section in Apple News displays hand-picked content and top videos, support for Advanced Mobile Location (AML) offers a more accurate location when placing an emergency call in a supported country, software authentication for HomeKit is included to greatly expand the number of devices that can support HomeKit, to make it easier to find relevant people to follow. and a new Privacy screen and icon will show up whenever Apple asks you for info. The privacy screen is reflected in several new splash screens that pop up when you first open apps.
In the App Store, you can finally sort reviews by most helpful, most favorable, most critical, and most recent, a handy change for better finding the app info you're looking for, and in the Updates tab, more details are available about app update size. Just ahead of the release, Apple added a new music videos section to Apple Music, and improvements have also been made to friend suggestions in Apple Music to make it easier to find people who like what you like.
The release of iOS 11.3 includes support for Business Chat in the U.S., which will let you interface with businesses like Wells Fargo, Delta, Hilton and Lowe's right in the Messages app. Improvements have been made to security in Safari, Handoff and Universal Clipboard have been improved, there are new Accessibility features, and bug fixes for keyboards.
The update also addresses several notable software bugs including an issue that could cause incoming calls not to activate the iPhone's screen, a bug that prevented voicemail playback, an oversight that did not allow parents to approve child purchases using Face ID, a Bluetooth bug that prevented proper syncing of contacts and music playback in a vehicle, and more. Apple's full release notes for the update are below:Betas of iOS 11.3 included a Messages on iCloud feature that Apple has been working on for several months, but the iOS 11.3 release notes do not include a mention of Messages on iCloud, suggesting the feature has been delayed for a second time. With Messages on iCloud, all of your iMessages are stored in the cloud, allowing them to sync across devices (even new ones) and saving valuable storage space on your iPhones and iPads.
Early betas also included AirPlay 2 support for iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3, but the feature was removed in iOS 11.3 beta 3 and it was not reintroduced in a later beta, suggesting it has been pushed back to a later update.

I verified today that iPhone 6s lightning to USB audio is working fine in my car on 11.3 iOS. It’s an inexpensive aftermarket Kenwood with an Apple compatible USB input on the front panel.

So you're saying my Mac is lying to me?
What he is saying is that you don’t need a Mac to update your iPhone. Just go to software update in the settings section of your iOS device, let it download the update and do its own stuff.
I haven’t done software updates via my Mac since iOS 5.

Beta 6 has been running like a champ on my X. Good release in my case. Having said that I don't use the weather widget so I cannot speak for that issue.

Unless it's an OTA gold master or another beta I don't even bother to remove the profile just to download a release when I'm going to have to redownload a profile in a week to continue beta testing. Not worth it. As for beta 6 messages in the cloud is still there so it's not the exact same. Who knows if anything else is different.

After installing the new iOS version 11.3, my iPhone 6 Plus is working again. It’s like having the original back. Much faster by a factor of 3-4 times. That’s a huge WOW for me, but also a huge loss of trust in Apple. They allowed the older iPhones to become borderline unusable, and did nothing about it until a whistleblower wrote an article about it. Shame on them, and on Tim Cook, for allowing the iPhone to become so degraded over time.
I really want this feature. I dont like backing up my messages after a restore. Would rather they pull from icloud.

You should know by now that Apple doesn't listen to their audience unless there's a lawsuit involved.
Hey sorry. Still on the beta and still working reliably for me if I have a non-fried cable.
Works fine on my wife’s older Pioneer via USB. Still works on my 4100NEX via CarPlay.

Looks like the built in screen grabber. Cmd+Shift+4
Upgraded this morning to 11.3 via iTunes using a Windows 10 laptop.
iPhone 8+(purchased Sept 25)
Battery Life is reported at 100%. Not bad for a six month old phone-was expecting around 97%
I wireless charge over 95% of the time and I follow my rule of "charge early, charge often"-seems to be working.
I DO NOT use fast charging.

I have very good battery life on my 6s. Same as beta 6. Have you let the phone settle in? Try to reset all settings?
No difference with the battery life on my 6s after upgrading. I plan to replace the battery in the next couple of months because it’s now at 83% capacity and while I own a X, I still use my 6s a lot at home as a very capable A9-equipped “iPod Touch” now. I want to use it for another couple of years.
The battery life on my 6S under 11.3 is just as good as it was on 11.2.6.
(Regarding USB Audio failing or working on 11.3)
Thanks very much for each of the responses.
Overview of responses so far:
There are now about 3 or 4 people for whom USB audio appears to be working consistently, and one person reporting consistent failure of USB audio on multiple devices (within the same car and tried with multiple cables), with each of those devices on 11.3, and with that same car WORKING on devices with 11.2.6

You don't really believe that Apples computer hardware/software engineers are building the Apple campus do you?
What you sure!? Of course i’ll understand rhe excitement then but; I haven’t seen that feature/explanation ANYWHERE... you sure? Heard of “sync between devices” and “smaller backups” (thought this meant the iTunes Backups)
[doublepost=1522643010][/doublepost]
Nice point that last one..
Another guy quoted this same comment of mine and said iMessage wont count towards your iCloud storage...
true? Now THAT would make sense to me in terms of excitement,[doublepost=1522643111][/doublepost]
Yeah I mean in general people could afford that, specially for a situation like that,
But in general (not that situation), habing to pau to make sense of it would mean that much of excitement, so I don’t really get it,

I quoted the part earlier in this threat about it not taking up iCloud space because I too was pretty sure this feature does INDEED use your iCloud space. Can anyone offer any clarification and point to documentation on this? Otherwise I’m still off the belief that this DOES use true iCloud storage quota.
