I updated my iPhone 6 earlier this week with no problems. And it took less than 5 minutes to downloud, install and restart.

I'm never in any hurry any more to update. I wait a good long time (sometimes weeks or a month) to update. I want to hear what tech websites and lotsa users say first.

I did just read that this is the last update before iOS 11.

I also wait a while before installing new updates. I had read that ios10.3 was taking a really long time to install, so I decided to wait. I didn't even realize that there was a 10.3.1 update until I read this thread a few days ago. When I checked into that I didn't hear of any potential serious problems, and since some of you here had already installed it, I went ahead and installed it this morning on my phone. I was surprised to find that just about 15-20 minutes after I okayed the install, it was done. No problems so far.

I update my 3 Apple gizmos whenever the updates come out, and I've either never had a problem or I'm such a cyberphobe that I've never noticed one.

Until I get stung, I'll continue to be a prompt updater.

I just updated my iPod 6 and my two iPads and no problems with anything on any of them. They are working just fine.

I updated my iPod Touch (newest generation) and it went fine. I didn't notice too many changes. I wondered if there would be new emojis, but I guess that will be in the next big update. I will probably wait a bit of time to install that one. I tend to do that when the big updates roll out. For the smaller in-between updates, I usually don't wait too long.

I always update as soon as a new version is released. (I understand why many people choose to wait, by the way.) It's on my iPhone 5 (my iPad 3 has aged out of updates, sad to say). No problems, and I think you'll find it frees up some storage and might work more efficiently.

Two articles, the first one an in-depth look at 10.3, the second one a brief update:

I updated my 6+ last week with no problems. I don't think I needed to but it drives me crazy to look at the little one on the settings icon so I just do it.

I just checked my iPad & it shows your software is up to date iOS 9.3.5

Why it the iOS 10.3.1 not showing up on my iPad??????

I guess the update will not work on 2nd & 3rd generation iPads so I'm SOL since mine is 3rd generation. Guess I will have to use it as is.

@Nightowlz, That means your iPad is an older device that no longer will be compatible with new iOS updates. Each time a new version of the iOS is released, they list the devices which can and cannot be updated. I use an iPad 3, and it's too old for the new software so my version is 9.3.5, also.

@dooBdoo How long will I be able to use this iPad without future updates? I don't know if I want to buy another one at the moment. I basically play games on it at night & take with me when we travel. Since I had an anxiety attack in the car last time we went to Fl I don't know if I will be able to do that again or not.

@Nightowlz, You can use the device as long as it works for you... but keep in mind you'll be missing out on security software updates, so even using secure connections it would be good to keep that in mind depending on how you use the device. Also, little by little you'll see things like apps that no longer work well and can't be updated, browser web pages not loading well, that sort of thing. I wouldn't worry about using it for games... not at all. I know people who still use the original iPad and all models since that one, but of course the really old devices tend to be glitchy and fussy at this point.

@dooBdoo Ok Thx. Guess I won't be using it for shopping. I used it 1 yr black friday shopping at my sisters house. Everyone was still sleeping when I got up went into the bathroom & started shopping on my iPad. LOL!!! Think when I buy another one I may try the mini since I don't really use it a lot.
