The iOS 11 is set to release in June; but before this, Apple has already launched their last major update for iOS 10. The tech giant has launched the first public beta of the latest iOS 10.3, which gives everyone a glimpse of the latest features coming to iPods, iPads, and iPhones.
TechyV has listed down the top features of the 10.3 update. Check it out below:

A new profile section was added at the top of your Settings, which includes all your account details. You’ll have quick access to your iTunes, iCloud, Family Sharing, and iCloud information. Your contact information, payment information, as well as the security settings, was also made accessible. The Apple ID Profile also includes information of all the Apple devices that was linked to your account. Each Apple ID consists of the device’s information such as the Model, Version, and Serial Number.
