Apple releases iOS 11.3 update for newly-released iPad units

Sometimes it’s the newest devices that get the coolest software updates first.

On Wednesday, Apple released iOS 11.3, though only for the new iPad announced during Tuesday’s “Let’s Take a Field Trip” education event in Chicago. There’s no indication as to when the update will be available for other devices, but we don’t expect it to be much longer.


The iOS 11.3 update adds the following fixes and changes:

– Battery health monitoring

– The ability to turn off the performance fix for worn out batteries

– ARKit 1.5

– New Animoji characters

– More transparent privacy settings and information

– Support for HomeKit device authentication via software instead of embedded chips

– Health Records in the Health app

– Business Chat in Messages

– Other additional changes

Those who already have the new iPad will find the update in Settings > General > Software Update.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
