The iOS 10.3 update that Apple has brought to users today contains many interesting enhancements.Among them, most notably is Apple's official move to use a new file system called APFS (Apple File System).
According technology Theverge , filesystem APFS Apple introduced the first time at the conference for the global development WWDC last year and it is designed to be used on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch , Mac and Apple TV.
Prior to iOS 10.3, Apple used a file hierarchy called HFS with 31 years of age. HFS was originally intended for use on Macs using a floppy disk or hard drive for storage, rather than today's solid-state drives. Even the successor version of HFS + HFS + does not meet the needs of modern Apple mobile devices.
That's why the new APFS file system is designed by Apple to increase the performance of its devices and take advantage of flash memory or SSD. APFS also focuses on enhancing encryption and supporting features such as snapshot to make it easier for users to recover files on iOS or Mac devices.
Because APFS is designed to have lower latency, the read and write speeds of iOS devices will improve. Apple demonstrated this at last year's WWDC conference, demonstrating the ability to save APFS data over time compared to HFS +.
Many iPhone and iPad users may not notice, but the iOS 10.3 update has freed up to a few GB of memory for their device. The beta version of iOS 10.3 shows that the devices have more free memory space after the update, which mainly comes from the fact that APFS has changed the way data is calculated.
In addition to freeing up memory, users will not see any clear benefits from APFS. However, for Apple, this is an important milestone as APFS laid the foundation for the company to transition to full 64-bit application development on iOS. This is what many people predict will appear on iOS 11 in the future.
Updating iOS 10.3 will take much longer than usual. This is understandable as Apple is doing a great job carefully and silently to update the millions of file systems on your iOS device. However, be assured that updating iOS 10.3 will not waste too much of your time.
