After going through seven different beta versions of iOS 10.3 Apple has finally made it public. Users who have been antsy for iOS 10.3 can now install it on their devices. You can find the links below to all the different devices and see for yourself if 10.3 will be the firmware for your daily use.
Keep in mind its ok to give iOS 10.3 a try and if you are unhappy just downgrade back to iOS 10.2.1. But this window of downgrade time is definitely limited. It seems Apple reduces the amount of time for downgrading with each new firmware release.

How to install iOS 10.3 correctly
- backup device fully in iTunes or iCloud. Most users don’t have enough storage in iCloud without purchasing more space. So we will discuss how to backup in iTunes. Be sure iTunes is running the latest version. You chan check for an update by clicking the iTunes button top left side and scroll down to check for updates. Most likely if it needs to update it will pop up when you open iTunes at the start.

- Once you start the backup process you will get a bar across the top of the screen showing the progress.
- keep the backup in a location you will remember. I have mine in dropbox. This is an easy place to remember and safe from getting deleted accidently. That’s pretty much all there is to back up your iOS 10 devices.

- However, most users tend to use the simplest method wich is OTA [over the air]. Be sure to backup your iOS device even if you choose to update using this method also.
