Countless excited Apple lovers are waiting for this: iOS 10.3 – Apple’s latest mobile operating system is available on iPhones, iPad and iPod touch’s at the end of this month. But be careful: the latest iOS update looks quite harmless. In truth it can turn out really badly; in the worst case, it can come to total data loss. Even Apple itself recommends a back up before updating your Apple device.

Besides the introduction of iOS 10.3, which is expected in March, Apple will also replace the old file system Hierarchical File System Plus (HFS +), which has been used since 1998, by the in-house Apple File System APFS. No matter how stable APFS will be, before installing the iOS 10.3 update, you should make a complete back up of your iOS device. Otherwise, all your precious photos, videos and songs could be deleted.
