iOS 10.3 update is "available for iPhone 5 and later." You should always keep your phone updated, this is very important. Updates include security improvements, bug fixes, as well as new features, etc. More importantly than new features though, not updating could impair the proper functioning of your phone and expose you to security risks.

My wife and I use same iPhone as yours, and both has been updated to 10.3 version. The iOS runs smooth and fluid like it was built only for iPhone 5s. It can buy you more storage room due to Apple new filing format. I feel my battery life increases a little bit with this iOS.


But according to my wife, there is a little problem she has. She can't open password protected PDF attachment on her email.


As for me, I can't read reader comments from several news sites that I visited.


I don't know if both problem have something to do with iOS 10.3


My wife already sent a feedback to Apple. I hope there will be fixes in the future to improve user experience.
