9 Things to Know About the iPad iOS 10.3.3 Update

Today we want to guide you through the most important things to know about the iOS 10.3.3 update for the iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad mini as we push into August.

Apple continues to refine its iOS 10 operating system with milestone upgrades and maintenance releases. Its latest, iOS 10.3.3, is a small maintenance release. The iOS 10.3.3 update delivers bug fixes and two dozen important security updates to Apple’s fleet of iPads.

The iPad’s iOS 10.3.3 update isn’t a milestone upgrade but it’s certainly worth monitoring as we push toward September and the release of iOS 11.

If you’re coming from iOS 10.3.2, your iPad’s update is made up of bug fixes and security patches. If you’re coming to iOS 10.3.3 from something older than iOS 10.3.2, your iPad’s iOS 10.3.3 update will be much larger thanks to the fixes and features from previous versions of iOS. They’re baked in.

Our walkthrough takes a look at the update’s performance on several popular iPad variants. It also takes you through some of the iOS 10.3.3 problems currently plaguing iPad users. It also goes over what’s next in Apple’s iOS update pipeline.

We’ll continue to update this with new information so check back in with us as we push toward the next iOS upgrade.
