iOS 10.3.2: Update Offers Security Fixes for iOS Devices
After several weeks of testing, Apple has finally released the iOS 10.3.2. The new update was dropped almost a month after the giant technology company rolled out the iOS 10.3.1 to the public.
The iOS 10.3.2 has been in beta testing since the previous update was released in late March. And now, the new update is available either as an over-the-air update or through iTunes for devices that run iOS 10. These are the iPhone 5 and the newer versions of the iPhone, the iPad Mini 2 and newer versions of the iPad Mini, the iPad Pros and the sixth-generation iPod Touch, and the fourth-generation or newer iPads.
Apple released four betas prior to the release of the new update. Six weeks prior, the iOS 10.3 also arrived to introduce a Find My AirPods feature and the Apple File System, streamlining the performance of iOS devices behind the scenes. Although Apple has yet to give the detailed notes about the new update, reports suggest that the iOS 10.3.2 comes with major bug fixes and security improvements.
