iOS 9.3 Officially released

I just noticed Apple has pulled the iOS 9.3 update for the iPhone 5S & earlier, iPad Air & earlier, iPod touch 5th gen.

Really....? I wonder why that is. I've already updated my mini but I still have to do my Air(1st gen). Was there any reasoning?

EDIT: ahhhhh never mind. I found the article about it on the iMore main page. Activation issues for older devices.

I thought the new 9.3 build was now available

It is via iTunes for non 64 bit devices

Same thing they did with 9.2.1 when they released the second build. iTunes only!

The pulling of the original 9.3 for older devices is as good a reason as I can think for letting any significant update 'steep like tea' for a while after receiving it, and for doing a bit of research for feedback. I just did two phones (6 & 6Plus) smootly and uneventful but had the 'fail to verify' error on my original mini and my wifes iPad 2.... The 'abort before install' probably saved me a lot of grief.....Bravo Apple.... Eager to see how 'NightShift' looks this evening, and I must say that Airdrop seems a lot quicker between the phones and my iMac....

The additional features are nice

Im loving the nightshift mode

As well as the split view

Other than nightshift, which isn't even a big feature within itself, iOS 9.3 was a very small update. I was kind of expecting a lot more, but iOS 10 isn't that far away...

I see that iOS 9.3 is only available for older devices through iTunes (I have a 5S), but when I check for update it tells me 9.2.1 is the latest version. Any ideas why?

I don't know but is it me or there still isn't an update available for iPhone 5s. I plugged my phone into my MacBook Pro to update through iTunes but it's saying I have the latest update(9.2.1) :raised-eyebrow:

Night shift and WiFi calling on Verizon

[Chris Cook5]

Did you update? If not, your 5s should update fine either OTA or with iTunes.

Night shift is a pretty big deal for me. There's also wifi calling for Verizon, and the new Notes lock feature. This was not meant to be a major update. That will come with iOS 10.

I can't update OTA or iTunes because 9.2 is the current version.

Just hooked up my iPad Air (1st gen) to iTunes now.......Apple must still have 9.3 pulled for download because it still shows 9.2.1 as being the most current iOS available.
