• Adds back the ability to search the web and Wikipedia from Spotlight search
• Fixes an issue where iMessage failed to send for some users
• Fixes a bug that could prevent iMessage from activating
• Improves system stability when using iWork apps
• Fixes an accelerometer calibration issue
• Addresses an issue that could cause Siri and VoiceOver to use a lower quality voice
• Fixes a bug that could allow someone to bypass the Lock screen passcode
• Enhances the Reduce Motion setting to minimize both motion and animation
• Fixes an issue that could cause VoiceOver input to be too sensitive
• Updates the Bold Text setting to also change dial pad text
• Fixes an issue that could cause supervised devices to become un-supervised when updating software

iOS 7.0.3 is available over the air and also via iTunes.
Snappier!!
All of the fly in screens are off if you toggle reduce motion. Apple nipping that motion sickness crap in the bud. Nice job.
Thank you Apple for fixing many of the issues that we brought up. The “reduce motion” and text tweaks are especially important to these old eyes.
downloading it on my iPad and my iPhone.
Very nice. Really like where they are headed with iCloud Keychain stuff and password generator. Wonder how much longer I’ll need my 1Password app?
Anyone else get the error “software download is corrupted” when trying to update using iTunes on a Mac? Very frustrating and had this same problem with previous updates. No amount of reboots or re-downloading file seems to fix. Strange.
ehh…nevermind. looks like an issue with iTunes. downloading and installing directly from phone over wifi works fine.
And Apple is listening…
…and so is the NSA.
Now for all the iPhone naysayers. Try upgrading the software on your flavor of the month smart phone. What’s that? You can’t, there are no upgrades, patches, bug fixes or features available.
Now why is that? It must be because you settled for a cheap knockoff iPhone wannabe. I guess you and your significant other can upgrade by purchasing new phones. Of course, you’ll have to wait for the next buy one, get one free offer that comes along. I’m going to upgrade my iPhone as soon as I finish this post.
Tootles!
Got it for my iPad, but nothing is coming up for my 5S.
Finally! Had to turn off WiFi to FIND the update, then had to turn it back on to download it.
Oddly enough, I just had to do the exact same thing for it to show up on my iPhone 5 AND on my iPad 4 (LTE). Weird, but hey, it worked! Thanks for the tip.
I just plugged it into my Mac and used iTunes to run the upgrade. Went fine and without a hitch.
Hey, looks like the 5S motion sensor problem can be fixed in software!

Wow Apple really pulled out all the stops today. Downloads are incredibly fast. Really impressive! Thanks Apple!!
Yep, everything is going quickly – even my Mavericks download is coming down really fast.
I have an iPad Rock (aka iPad2) and could not get the update to show up until I connected it to my MacBook and went through iTunes. Huh. SuperDuper!’ing my Mid 2007 iMac to get Mavericks…
Took an uncomfortably long amount of time to do the update (20-25mins, download was quick), but made it OK. Zooming around is all gone with Reduce Motion turned on. Now it is just fade in/out. Still didn’t fix my one gripe – the bookmarks bar in Safari does not seem to respond to the Dynamic Type setting. They seem to get bolder with that setting, but not bigger. Seems OK so far.
In the middle of 43 min update on Mavericks.
Nothing about wireless stability on the 4S. Is that still a problem or one that’s been fixed?
I’ve rebooted my iPhone5, turned wifi off/on and nothing seems to work. I can’t get the update on my phone. It says I’m up to date with 7.0.2.
If you can, plug it into a Mac and do it via iTunes.
1.24GB if you download it through iTunes, 67.5MB if you download it direct through settings on your iPhone
Nope. It’s telling me that I need to delete some stuff because it needs “at least 1.7 GB of storage.”
Delete the stuff then.
All the apps and crap you never use.
so it will only use 67.5 of data to update? i want to ask my friend if i can use his personal hotspot.
Please, please, please let this cure the screwed up HDR in the camera on my iPhone 4.
Hey, how about voting down this comment too you friggin’ dumb ass.
Since iOS7 our iPads (not just mine) freeze and crash daily, sometimes several times a day including when synching with iTunes. This update did not fix that and so far seems to have made it worse.
Sounds like there an app on your pads that doesn’t play nicely with iOS 7. Ours have been very stable since the update.
Update 7.03 seems faster and smoother, however, sometimes touching the screen quickly after launching say settings shows some lag. Touch does not respond as quickly as before. This seems to only happen when screen is touched immediately upon launching said app. But hey, everything else seems fine. Thanks. IPad owner.
Updated my iPhone 4. Feels a bit more responsive and faster. Anyone else noticed?
Update my 4S to 7.0.3…..iMessage still not working properly. Waiting for activation.
Did you get this issue fixed? My iphone 4 is giving me the same message. “waiting for activation”. My imessage used to work fine until this 7.03 update. Now all my texts are green. I’ve turned the phone on and off several times and this does not seem to help.
Does it fix the bug the prevents so many users to access the App Store and/or the iTunes Store from an iPhone?
Updated IOS 7.03 on 4S. I lost Wifi access. Im able to use only cellular feature. Phone had become too slow.
Dowloaded 7.0.3 to my third gen iPad, but am dismayed that it wiped out all of my favorites/bookmarks! How can I restore them???
I have just updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.3. Then I found my ipad has no sound at all when i am on youtube or playing music or any game. After rebooting the device, the sound came back but it’s of a very poor quality! Anyone out there facing the same problem? How to get it fixed?
After upgradibg my iphone 5c to 7.0.3 my personal hotspot disappear what will i do? Please help. Thank you
