Apple iOS 10.3 Beta for Developers Second Version News: Cool Features Include a New APFS and an AirPod Finder
Registered developers can now download the second beta of iOS 10.3 via the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air. The California-based multinational technology company has recently seeded the newest update for the iOS 10 operating system, a couple of weeks after the first.
According to Mac Rumors, the upgrade includes cool features such as a new Apple File System and "Find My AirPods," a useful addition that will let owners locate their lost wireless headphones. The APFS reportedly boasts of a strong encryption that is especially optimized for the flash/SSD storage. The "Find My AirPods," on the other hand, can trace a missing AirPod by identifying the last location when the device was connected, via Bluetooth, to the iOS device. By using this, the headphones will emit a sound, making it easy for the finder.
Other features that are part of the second beta are improvements on the SiriKit, the settings of the Apple ID profile, as well as an upgraded app open/close animation. Users are also getting the 'Three UK WiFi Calling' and the '32-bit app alert' with a "Learn More" button.
