One of the things that Apple released yesterday was iOS 7.0.3. The question is, why bother installing it? There’s some very good reasons to do so. Here’s a list of the top reasons why you want to upgrade from most important to the less important:
- It fixes a lock screen bug that I spoke of here where someone with physical access to the phone could dial non-emergency numbers along with a couple of other lock screen bugs. You can get the details on those bugs here.
- The reduce motion option now reduces a lot more of the zooming effects that were apparently making people sick. So if you have reduce motion turned on, you’ll find that it works much better.
- The issue with the motion co-processor that I spoke of here is fixed. So if you have an iPhone 5S, you should install this now.
- It fixes issues with iMessage that some users were having.
- It Fixes crash issues with iWork for iOS that I spoke of previously.
- iCloud Keychain was added so that you can keep track of your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers across multiple devices. This really is only useful if you have updated to OS X Mavericks and/or all your iDevices run iOS 7.0.3. Having said that, it is a welcome addition.
To me, this makes it something that you should upgrade to as soon as you can. The process on the two iPhones that I did this on was painless, though you will have to go through a wizard to update your iCloud settings as well as enable iCloud Keychain. But it was done within 10 minutes or so.
