3 Reasons Not to Install iOS 10.3.3 & 9 Reasons You Should

The iOS 10.3.3 update is a small upgrade, but it brings some key changes to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. While some of you will want to install the iOS 10.3.3 update on your device today, others might want to wait.

Apple’s iOS 10.3.3 update is a maintenance update, but it delivers important security patches and bug fixes for lingering iOS problems.

iOS 10.3.3 isn’t a milestone upgrade, but it could still have a significant impact on your device’s performance, particularly if you own an older iPhone or iPad or if you’re upgrading from an older version of iOS like iOS 10.2.1 or iOS 9.

iOS 10.3.3 is only a small update if you’re coming directly to it from the previous version of iOS 10, iOS 10.3.2.

If you’re coming from an older version of iOS, your iOS 10.3.3 update will actually be much bigger thanks to iOS 10.3.2 and any other iOS updates you skipped along the way. You’ll get features and fixes from those older iOS updates baked into your version of iOS 10.3.3.

There are plenty of reasons to consider installing iOS 10.3.3 on your device (particularly if you skipped iOS 10.3), but there are also some reasons why you might be better off waiting a few days (or longer) before installing iOS 10.3.3 on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

There’s also no way to downgrade to an older version of iOS 10 so you need to proceed with caution, particularly if you’re upgrading from a much older version of iOS like iOS 10.2.1 or iOS 9.

If you’re on the fence about upgrading, this guide will walk you through these reasons and help you decide if iOS 10.3.3 is worth it for you and your device.
