“It seems like it took forever, but Apple finally released its hotly anticipated iOS 11.3 update on Thursday afternoon,” Zach Epstein writes for BGR. “Why would a software update other than iOS 12 be hotly anticipated, you ask? Despite merely being a “dot” update, this iOS 11.3 release includes a feature that iPhone users have been dying for: a way to disable Apple’s automatic iPhone throttling on devices with older batteries.”
“There are some other things that have Apple fans buzzing as well, such as four new Animoji characters — lion, bear, dragon, and skull — and notifications when iOS wants your personal data,” Epstein writes. “There’s much more to the iOS 11.3 update, though, and in this post we’ll discuss five cool new features that you might not know about.”
Apple’s iOS 11.3 delivers awesome new iPhone features, including:
• Speed and performance improvements
• Augmented Reality enhancements
• App review sorting
• Username and passwords autofill in apps
• Death of the auto-correct capitalization bug

MacDailyNews Take: iOS 11.3 is performing like a champ on our iPhone X and iPad Pro units. How’s iOS 11.3 treating you and your iPhones and/or iPads?
More emojis is not a feature.
It is. It’s an incentive to hit that ‘upgrade’ button to many users…
OMG, really? Time for adult non-hipster supervision at Apple.
I had been plagued by the clock not showing at times, as well as some issues with voicemail on my iPhone 7+. Those have been fixed, and my iPhone seems a bit ”snappier”. Very pleased with this update, so far.
I wish I can customize my iPhone lock screen like I can my Watch face. Pick my phone up, glance at the lock screen for the info I want, set it down without needing to unlock it.
11.3 runs flawlessly on my iPhone X…
My Poop Animoji is even more smoother and realistic if I was a real poop talking. I’m super happy with the new update! 😛 Seriously I think my battery actually runs longer and doesn’t drain as much when idle.
A lot of software is improved only incrementally.
The Poop Animoji is a great case study in how software can be improved excrementally.
haha!
I put the update on my 6-Plus. It still makes phone calls and sends texts. I’m pretty satisfied with that.
I can see why you haven’t bothered to upgrade your phone. That’s it?!?…
There’s actually quite a few irritating bugs, par for Apple nowadays. Sharing photos in messages is screwed up, messages to multiple people is screwed up, screen rotation is screwed up. This is the worst release I can remember.
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown?
Heh, so far NO apps allow autofill…
So far so good on iPhone 8. Browsing, camera, Messages, email working fine.
So far, it works great on my iPhone X and 10.5 inch iPad Pro. Plenty snappy!
Updated without a hitch. A bit nervous of the reports of lengthy and difficult updates to Mac OS 10.13.4, however…
Jitter introduced in some saved podcasts, like the new system font in some iPad software. Other than podcast jitter no complaints. Seems ever so slightly faster but I think that’s observer bias. No other complaints
My iPhone 6 Plus is MUCH snappier. No negatives that I can see.
And yes, it did “seem(s) like it took forever”
VPN still buggy. It doesnt load anything from the internet after I turn on VPN after a while. While no smartphone is perfect, I dreamt of changing the hosts file of iPhones without jailbreaking
Can’t stand that you now have to Confirm when deleting a text message…
YAWN!!!
Does 11.3 have an analog clock as it’s lock screen like the old Blackberry OS had? Would be a great feature, could use it as my night clock and it would look great I’m sure.
Performance is fine. But glitchy interface bugs abound.
