A little while ago, Apple released the final version of iOS 11.3, which is intended for all owners of compatible iPhones, iPads and iPod touch. The new update comes after several weeks of testing, during which six beta versions got together between developers and public testers.

One of the most important innovations of iOS 11.3 is undoubtedly a feature called Battery Health (still in beta), which allows users to find out the state of the battery in the iPhone and whether its wear has already affected the overall performance of the device. In addition, the function allows you to disable the performance limitation. Another added value of the system is also the new Animoji for iPhone X, the ARKit platform in version 1.5 and, above all, a significant number of bug fixes that plagued the previous version of the system. You can read the full list of news below.

You can download iOS 11.3 on your device in Settings -> In general -> updates software. For the iPhone 8 Plus, the update is 846,4MB. You can share your knowledge and experience with the system in the comments below the article, we will be happy to answer all your questions.
