Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of iOS 10.3 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Now Available]

APFS was specifically designed to allow this. It doesn't actually reformat the drive to do the conversion.
It's stuff like this that gets lost in the entire "lack of innovation" rhetoric.
Does anyone have an idea when 10.3 might be released? Could it be ready?

I'm super concerned about deploying about 300 iPad Pros in the next few weeks. I was hoping 10.3 would drop prior to the rollout and we could update before the users actually go out into the world.
However, given the release of Wikileaks' Vault 7 information, it's possible that Apple may not release iOS 10.3 until late March to ensure most of the exploits mentioned in Vault 7 are patched. We may see one more beta drop of iOS 10.3 because of this.
Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming iOS 10.3 update to developers, just over one week after seeding the fourth beta of iOS 10.3 and almost three months after the release of iOS 10.2, the last major update to the iOS 10 operating system.
Registered developers can download the fifth iOS 10.3 beta from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air with the proper configuration profile installed.
iOS 10.3 is a major update, introducing several new features and changes to the iOS 10 operating system. The biggest new consumer-facing feature is "Find My AirPods," which is designed to help AirPods owners locate a lost earphone. Find My AirPods records the last known location of when an AirPod was connected to an iOS device via Bluetooth and can play a sound on a lost AirPod.
Apple's latest update also introduces a new Apple File System (APFS), installed when an iOS device is updated to iOS 10.3. APFS is optimized for flash/SSD storage and includes features like strong encryption.
Apple plans to introduce some App Store changes in iOS 10.3, allowing developers to respond to customer reviews for the first time. iOS users are also able to label reviews in the App Store as "Helpful" or "Not Helpful," which should help surface the most relevant review content.

Apple also plans to limit the number of times developers can ask for a review, allow customers to leave app reviews without exiting an app, and provide a "master switch" that will let users turn off all app review request prompts.
Also new in iOS 10.3 is a redesigned app open/close animation, an Apple ID profile in Settings, a better breakdown of iCloud storage usage, warnings about outdated apps that won't work with future versions of iOS, HomeKit support for programmable light switches, improvements to SiriKit (bill paying, bill status, and scheduling future rides), CarPlay interface improvements, iCloud analytics options, and more.
Update: iOS 10.3 beta 5 is also available for public beta testers.

Erm, you posted an article about Beta 5 and embed a video about Beta 1...
Is anyone experiencing stuttering animations or frame rate drops when closing apps? When the app window minimizes into the icon, it's very choppy (typically when exiting during app launch, or when exiting 1-2 seconds after launch).
Has happened with every beta, testing on a 6 - but also own a 7. Can anyone speak to this with both models?

Yea, I'm thinking you're right... they did already say that most vulnerabilities were patched, but I doubt they got it in 10.3 that quick.
Normal I think. MacRumors doesn't usually update articles (at least as far as I know) relating to new iOS betas with a new video for that beta. Beta 5 doesn't even change that much other than fix a small Safari bug relating to website loading, as listed in the first post of the thread located at this link and possibly fix most of the 14 vulnerabilities that were leaked via WikiLeaks' Vault 7 archive as well.
Did they fix the issue from beta 3 where iCloud would require passwords upon reboot, and Exchange (Outlook 365) would regularly ask for passwords? I literally entered my Outlook password 25 times in one day.
My device didn't show up under "mobile devices" in Office 365 after I removed it. Until I reverted to 10.2.1.
The latter was a show stopper for me - I'm back to 10.2.1.

I love the priorities of this article:
- The biggest new consumer-facing feature is "Find My AirPods," a feature which sounds like the kind of parody news The Onion would joke about.
- "Oh and there's a brand new filesystem which is modern, corruption-proof, fast and safe and replaces everything we've known about Apple for the last 30 years of living with the old and buggy HFS+. No big deal."

I thought I was the only one that noticed this... being that I'll NEVER own a set of AirPods... too funny...
