The shutdown issue was caused by older iPhone batteries delivering power to the smartphone unevenly. The only way for affected users to turn their device back on was to connect the handset to a power supply. The bug has affected a number iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus handsets, causing screens to go dark without warning. IOS 10.2.1 reduces shutdown bug incidentsĪpple says its iOS 10.2.1 update has significantly addressed the unexpected shutdown issues that have been plaguing a number of iPhone models. ![]() Windows and iOS both held larger shares, achieving 40.7% and 24.9% respectively.Įurope painted a similar picture, with Windows' 51.8% share more than double that of Android's 23.5%. In Asia, Android commanded a majority 51.8% share of the market in February - with Windows notching up just 29.8%.Īndroid's share in North America, however, was considerably lower with just 20.3%. "In January 2012, Windows held 82% global internet usage share compared to just 2.2% for Android."Ĭullen attributes Android's rise to the growth of smartphones and their increased access to the internet - as well as a "slowdown" in PC sales and Asia's impact on the global market. "The idea of Android almost matching Windows would have been unthinkable five years ago," said Aodhan Cullen, CEO at StatCounter. The data incorporates internet usage information from laptop, desktop, mobile and tablet platforms - and marks an astonishing rise for Android. The analytics firm's 2017 statistics found that, despite Windows remaining the most-used OS with 38.6% of the global market, Android has closed the gap considerably with a 37.4% share. One not-so-exciting feature of iOS 10.3 is it takes a long time to update and although the file size is only 600MB, users are saying it takes a lot longer to install compared to previous versions.Īndroid is closing in on Windows as the most popular operating system for internet use, according to the latest data from StatCounter (opens in new tab). IOS 10.3 also irons out a number of bugs found in iOS 10.2 and adds a few other funky features including Find My EarPods, updates to CarPlay, hourly weather forecasts in Maps and a new Podcast widget. Although you won't be able to see this is operation as you can with the new animations, you should start noticing a faster experience. Another factor that will make iOS 10.3 seem faster is a new file system Apple has added, making it faster to read and write speeds to the disk inside iPhones and iPads. The new animations are most evident when you open, close or switch between apps. With Apple issuing updates even after ending software support for it goes on to show how much the company actually cares for its users and their user experience.Although there's not a whole lot to report from the latest version of iOS, Apple engineer Renaud Lienhart tweeted: “iOS 10.3 feels ‘snappier’ because many animations were slightly tweaked & shortened, for the better", showing that off as the major new change Apple users will experience. I understand that the iPhone 5 is an old phone at this point, but it is a solid daily driver for a lot of people at this point. I really can't emphasize much on the fact that you should simply go ahead and install this update.
