RE: Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first launched, Ars Technica

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks, after a number of messages where people told me all sorts of things 
except the version I asked for Anita (and now you) actually took the 30 seconds 
it takes to look it up. I already deleted the beta profile and the public 
release is installed, now my Apple Watch is just installing the new update 
after I did a complete erease and set it up as a new device. At first glance it 
does seem to be a lot more responsive now.
I think I have to do the same to my iPhone 6S Plus, it's been at least 2 years 
since I set it up as a new device and doing that every now and then I think 
really makes a difference.

Regards,
sieghard

RE: Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first launched, Ars Technica

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks for mentioning the diffferent options, I found the “Reset” button in the 
Apple watch app and have erased it that way. I am now just setting it up again, 
it’s syncing and almost done.
I think this time I will not enable the auto install for apps, I really don’t 
need all these apps I have and use occasionally on my phone on my watch as well 
and it’s probably just bogging it down.
Let’s see if this will make a difference.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard

Yes, the easiest way I’ve found is to connect the watch to power and then press 
and hold on the side button for a couple seconds as though you are going to 
power off the watch. Now, press firmly on the “power off” button and you’ll see 
a new screen prompting you to erase all content and settings. Double-tap on the 
confirmation button (described as a green checkmark) and the watch will erase.

Of course, you can also erase it through Find My iPhone, and if you unpair it 
with your iPhone via the Watch app, that will also erase it.

Hi Sieghard,

Actually, iMessage syncing isn’t available in the final release of iOS 11.3. 
Personally, I can’t wait until this feature is commercially released, because 
it will let anyone set up their iOS device as a new device, but still elect to 
keep their messages.

Currently, new messages can be pushed to all your devices similar to how photo 
stream used to work, but old conversations aren’t stored in iCloud in the 
commercially released software, and deletions won’t sync across devices.

iMessage syncing via iCloud is available, it actually annoys me a bit because 
now each time you want to delete a text message you get a confirmation prompt:
Would you like to delete this conversation? This conversation will be deleted 
from all your devices.
You then have to tap "Yes" if you want to delete it.
I hope at some point Apple will allow users to decide if they want this prompt 
or not just as in Mail you can go into the settings and say if you want to be 
prompted each time to confirm if you want to delete an email or not.

There is now a section in the Settings app, nested under "Battery," called 
"Battery Health." If you visit this on a phone with a battery Apple deems 
healthy, it will simply serve up brief copy explaining some key concerns with 
iPhone batteries, along with a link to a webpage that goes into more detail. It 
will also show a value for "maximum capacity." This value is a percentage.
Apple explains it this way:
This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. Lower 
capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.
There's a section of this settings screen labeled "Peak Performance Capacity." 
If your phone has never experienced an unexpected shutdown due to low battery 
health, it will simply say:

Hello Harry,

There was an update, today for Mac OS.  And, it was listed under OS Updates, 
but it was iTunes, only.  

Again, I could be mistaken so I'll check again, later tonight.

After updating your Mac, did it restart and did the process take longer than 10 
minutes?  If so, then it was an OS update,  If not, then it was simply updating 
iTunes.

Mark

Thanks, Anita, that is indeed a bit different, my version said 15E5216A.
By now my wife updated her iPhone 6S to 11.3 and her version is the same as 
what you said, 15E216.
I deleted the beta profile and the 11.3 update showed up right away, it's done 
downloading it and the phone has already rebooted, should be done in 10 to 12 
minutes.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

It seems that if I delete a Message from my iPhone that it also goes away on my 
Apple Watch and if I reply to a text message with one of the short suggestions 
like "OK" or "Thanks" that that appears on my iPhone. I'll double check again, 
but I am pretty sure I noticed this and assume that is what iCloud syncing is 
all about.

iMessage syncing via iCloud is available, it actually annoys me a bit because 
now each time you want to delete a text message you get a confirmation prompt:
Would you like to delete this conversation? This conversation will be deleted 
from all your devices.
You then have to tap "Yes" if you want to delete it.
I hope at some point Apple will allow users to decide if they want this prompt 
or not just as in Mail you can go into the settings and say if you want to be 
prompted each time to confirm if you want to delete an email or not.

Sieghard

Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first 
launched This is a big update, and Apple also released updates to tvOS and 
watchOS.
by Samuel Axon - Mar 29, 2018 2:39pm PDT

Apple
Today, Apple released iOS 11.3 to all supported devices, including the iPad Air 
and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPhone 5S and later, and the 
sixth-generation iPod touch. The update is available for download now in 
supported regions.
With several new features, it's arguably the biggest update to iOS since iOS
11 first released. iOS 11.3 addresses battery-based performance throttling on 
older devices, adds significant new capabilities for augmented reality, adds 
the ability to chat with customer support reps from companies in Messages, and 
lets users access their personal health records in the Health app.
Apple also released smaller updates for tvOS (tvOS 11.3) on the Apple TV and 
watchOS (watchOS 4.3). Let's dive into what each of these updates adds for 
users.
Battery Health

You'll find the new Battery Health settings nested under "Battery" in the 
Settings app. Note that it's prominently listed as still in beta.
As promised, Apple has made it possible to disable performance throttling on 
older iPhones whose batteries have degraded to the point that that they pose a

I am on the public beta and I had no update. Therefore I assume that public 
beta 6 from almost 2 weeks ago is the same as this public release? Could 
somebody confirm the actual built? Mine is 15E5216A.

Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first 
launched This is a big update, and Apple also released updates to tvOS and 
watchOS.
by Samuel Axon - Mar 29, 2018 2:39pm PDT

Apple
Today, Apple released iOS 11.3 to all supported devices, including the iPad Air 
and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPhone 5S and later, and the 
sixth-generation iPod touch. The update is available for download now in 
supported regions.
With several new features, it's arguably the biggest update to iOS since iOS
11 first released. iOS 11.3 addresses battery-based performance throttling on 
older devices, adds significant new capabilities for augmented reality, adds 
the ability to chat with customer support reps from companies in Messages, and 
lets users access their personal health records in the Health app.
Apple also released smaller updates for tvOS (tvOS 11.3) on the Apple TV and 
watchOS (watchOS 4.3). Let's dive into what each of these updates adds for 
users.
Battery Health

You'll find the new Battery Health settings nested under "Battery" in the 
Settings app. Note that it's prominently listed as still in beta.
As promised, Apple has made it possible to disable performance throttling on 
older iPhones whose batteries have degraded to the point that that they pose a 
risk for unexpected shutdowns resulting from voltage shortages. Apple lists 
this as a beta feature.
There is now a section in the Settings app, nested under "Battery," called 
"Battery Health." If you visit this on a phone with a battery Apple deems 
healthy, it will simply serve up brief copy explaining some key concerns with 
iPhone batteries, along with a link to a webpage that goes into more detail. It 
will also show a value for "maximum capacity." This value is a percentage.
Apple explains it this way:
This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. Lower 
capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.
There's a section of this settings screen labeled "Peak Performance Capacity." 
If your phone has never experienced an unexpected shutdown due to low battery 
health, it will simply say: "Your battery is currently supporting normal peak 
performance." However, if your battery has dropped to a low-enough maximum 
capacity, you'll be shown this copy instead:
This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was 
unable to deliver

Hi Larry,

Usually the last beta is the same version as the public release. I am aware of 
how you can delete the beta profile, but I don't really want to do this if my 
version is the same as what everybody else got yesterday because then if I want 
to redownload the next beta for iOS 11.3.1 I have to enroll again and that is 
why I asked for somebody who was not on the public beta program and who has 
already installed iOS 11.3 to post the full version number.

iMessage syncing via iCloud is available, it actually annoys me a bit because 
now each time you want to delete a text message you get a confirmation prompt:
Would you like to delete this conversation? This conversation will be deleted 
from all your devices.
You then have to tap "Yes" if you want to delete it.
I hope at some point Apple will allow users to decide if they want this prompt 
or not just as in Mail you can go into the settings and say if you want to be 
prompted each time to confirm if you want to delete an email or not.

Air and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPhone 5S and later, and the 
sixth-generation iPod touch. The update is available for download now in 
supported regions.

With several new features, it's arguably the biggest update to iOS since iOS

on older devices, adds significant new capabilities for augmented reality, 
adds the ability to chat with customer support reps from companies in

app.
Apple also released smaller updates for tvOS (tvOS 11.3) on the Apple TV and 
watchOS (watchOS 4.3). Let's dive into what each of these updates adds for 
users.

Battery Health

You'll find the new Battery Health settings nested under "Battery" in the 
Settings app. Note that it's prominently listed as still in beta.
As promised, Apple has made it possible to disable performance throttling on 
older iPhones whose batteries have degraded to the point that that they pose 
a risk for unexpected shutdowns resulting from voltage shortages. Apple 
lists this as a beta feature.
There is now a section in the Settings app, nested under "Battery," called 
"Battery Health." If you visit this on a phone with a battery Apple deems 
healthy, it will simply serve up brief copy explaining some key concerns 
with iPhone batteries, along with a link to a webpage that goes into more 
detail. It will also show a value for "maximum capacity." This value is a 
percentage.

Apple explains it this way:
This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. Lower 
capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.
There's a section of this settings screen labeled "Peak Performance 
Capacity." If your phone has never experienced an unexpected shutdown due to 
low battery health, it will simply say: "Your battery is currently 
supporting normal peak performance." However, if your battery has dropped to 
a low-enough maximum capacity, you'll be shown this copy instead:
This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was 
unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been 
applied to help prevent this from happening again.
Next to this, you'll see an option to disable the performance-management 
feature that has so irked iPhone owners. It also tells you that you can 
upgrade the battery to solve this problem completely:
Your battery's health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service 
Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity.
Notably, performance management is disabled until the phone first 
experiences an unexpected shutdown; it's not activated simply by a maximum 
capacity below a certain value, and you can't turn it on unless you've run 
into the problem.
The note about the Apple Authorized Service Provider is meant to address a 
consumer complaint that Apple was not transparent with users about the 
option to upgrade the battery—that complaint is key in the class-action 
lawsuits that have popped up in response to the performance management 
controversy that began last December when Reddit users and the dev behind 
benchmarking app Geekbench confirmed that iOS throttled performance on 
devices with underperforming batteries.
Apple does not offer this feature on iPads, but this update does add a new 
iPad feature called "charge management." The update notes say it "maintains 
battery health when iPad is connected to power for prolonged periods of 
time, such as when it is used in kiosks, point-of-sa

You need to remove the beta profile. After removing, reboot your phone and then

I am on the public beta and I had no update. Therefore I assume that public 
beta 6 from almost 2 weeks ago is the same as this public release? Could 
somebody confirm the actual built? Mine is 15E5216A.

Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first 
launched This is a big update, and Apple also released updates to tvOS and 
watchOS.
by Samuel Axon - Mar 29, 2018 2:39pm PDT
 
Apple
Today, Apple released iOS 11.3 to all supported devices, including the iPad Air 
and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPhone 5S and later, and the 
sixth-generation iPod touch. The update is available for download now in 
supported regions.
With several new features, it's arguably the biggest update to iOS since iOS
11 first released. iOS 11.3 addresses battery-based performance throttling on 
older devices, adds significant new capabilities for augmented reality, adds 
the ability to chat with customer support reps from companies in Messages, and 
lets users access their personal health records in the Health app.
Apple also released smaller updates for tvOS (tvOS 11.3) on the Apple TV and 
watchOS (watchOS 4.3). Let's dive into what each of these updates adds for 
users.
Battery Health
 
You'll find the new Battery Health settings nested under "Battery" in the 
Settings app. Note that it's prominently listed as still in beta.
As promised, Apple has made it possible to disable performance throttling on 
older iPhones whose batteries have degraded to the point that that they pose a 
risk for unexpected shutdowns resulting from voltage shortages. Apple lists 
this as a beta feature.
There is now a section in the Settings app, nested under "Battery," called 
"Battery Health." If you visit this on a phone with a battery Apple deems 
healthy, it will simply serve up brief copy explaining some key concerns with 
iPhone batteries, along with a link to a webpage that goes into more detail. It 
will also show a value for "maximum capacity." This value is a percentage.
Apple explains it this way:
This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. Lower 
capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.
There's a section of this settings screen labeled "Peak Performance Capacity." 
If your phone has never experienced an unexpected shutdown due to low battery 
health, it will simply say: "Your battery is currently supporting normal peak 
performance." However, if your battery has dropped to a low-enough maximum 
capacity, you'll be shown this copy instead:
This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was 
unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been 
applied to help prevent this from happening again.
Next to this, you'll see an option to disable the performance-management 
feature that has so irked iPhone owners. It also tells you that you can upgrade 
the battery to solve this problem completely:
Your battery's health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service 
Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity.
Notably, performance management is disabled until the phone first experiences 
an unexpected shutdown; it's not activated simply by a maximum capacity below a 
certain value, and you can't turn it on unless you've run into the problem.
The note about the Apple Authorized Service Provider is meant to address a 
consumer complaint that Apple was not transparent with users about the option 
to upgrade the battery—that complaint is key in the class-action lawsuits that 
have popped up in response to the performance management controversy that began 
last December when Reddit users and the dev behind benchmarking app Geekbench 
confirmed that iOS throttled performance on devices with underperforming 
batteries.
Apple does not offer this feature on iPads, but this update does add a new iPad 
feature called "charge management." The update notes say it "maintains battery 
health when iPad is connected to power for prolonged periods of time, such as 
when it is used in kiosks, point-of-sale systems, or stored in charging carts."

ARKit 1.5
ARKit is Apple's augmented reality application programming interface. Apple 
introduced ARKit at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last year.
The framework handles some of the lower-level heavy lifting for augmented 
reality so developers can focus on customization of its experiences and on 
content.
Previously, ARKit could only accurately place objects on flat, horizontal 
planes, limiting the range of applications developers could make. With ARKit

Apple releases iOS 11.3, the biggest update for iPhones since iOS 11 first
launched
This is a big update, and Apple also released updates to tvOS and watchOS.
by Samuel Axon - Mar 29, 2018 2:39pm PDT
 
Apple
Today, Apple released iOS 11.3 to all supported devices, including the iPad
Air and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPhone 5S and later, and the
sixth-generation iPod touch. The update is available for download now in
supported regions.
With several new features, it's arguably the biggest update to iOS since iOS
11 first released. iOS 11.3 addresses battery-based performance throttling
on older devices, adds significant new capabilities for augmented reality,
adds the ability to chat with customer support reps from companies in
Messages, and lets users access their personal health records in the Health
app.
Apple also released smaller updates for tvOS (tvOS 11.3) on the Apple TV and
watchOS (watchOS 4.3). Let's dive into what each of these updates adds for
users.
Battery Health
 
You'll find the new Battery Health settings nested under "Battery" in the
Settings app. Note that it's prominently listed as still in beta.
As promised, Apple has made it possible to disable performance throttling on
older iPhones whose batteries have degraded to the point that that they pose
a risk for unexpected shutdowns resulting from voltage shortages. Apple
lists this as a beta feature.
There is now a section in the Settings app, nested under "Battery," called
"Battery Health." If you visit this on a phone with a battery Apple deems
healthy, it will simply serve up brief copy explaining some key concerns
with iPhone batteries, along with a link to a webpage that goes into more
detail. It will also show a value for "maximum capacity." This value is a
percentage.
Apple explains it this way:
This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. Lower
capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.
There's a section of this settings screen labeled "Peak Performance
Capacity." If your phone has never experienced an unexpected shutdown due to
low battery health, it will simply say: "Your battery is currently
supporting normal peak performance." However, if your battery has dropped to
a low-enough maximum capacity, you'll be shown this copy instead:
This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was
unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been
applied to help prevent this from happening again.
Next to this, you'll see an option to disable the performance-management
feature that has so irked iPhone owners. It also tells you that you can
upgrade the battery to solve this problem completely:
Your battery's health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service
Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity.
Notably, performance management is disabled until the phone first
experiences an unexpected shutdown; it's not activated simply by a maximum
capacity below a certain value, and you can't turn it on unless you've run
into the problem.
The note about the Apple Authorized Service Provider is meant to address a
consumer complaint that Apple was not transparent with users about the
option to upgrade the battery—that complaint is key in the class-action
lawsuits that have popped up in response to the performance management
controversy that began last December when Reddit users and the dev behind
benchmarking app Geekbench confirmed that iOS throttled performance on
devices with underperforming batteries.
Apple does not offer this feature on iPads, but this update does add a new
iPad feature called "charge management." The update notes say it "maintains
battery health when iPad is connected to power for prolonged periods of
time, such as when it is used in kiosks, point-of-sale systems, or stored in
charging carts."

ARKit 1.5
ARKit is Apple's augmented reality application programming interface. Apple
introduced ARKit at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last year.
The framework handles some of the lower-level heavy lifting for augmented
reality so developers can focus on customization of its experiences and on
content.
Previously, ARKit could only accurately place objects on flat, horizontal
planes, limiting the range of applications developers could make. With ARKit
1.5, developers can now place objects on vertical planes like walls, and
accuracy is improved when mapping objects onto surfaces that aren't
completely flat.
It also adds image-recognition capabilities. For example, an AR app could
show a full-sized robot if a poster for an associated robot movie is seen by
the phone's camera, or it could provide additional context in a museum when
a certain painting is seen. Apple touts a "higher-resolution real-world
camera view when using AR experiences," and auto-focus is now supported in
AR views as well.
AR is a major focus for Apple this year; it has been the subject of many of
the company's top
