Apple releases major updates every one or two months. The update goes through several beta tests.

Apple recently released iOS 16.3 after testing it in two beta and one Release Candidate build.

There have been several major bugs in the last few updates and hence it is understandable to be skeptical before upgrading to a new update.

If you have an iPhone eligible for iOS 16.3 and want to update to the latest version, here's if you should update to iOS 16.3 or not.

iOS 16.3 released Candidate build which was released a week before the public build had several major bugs.

There are bugs visible to random users. This means that some users may encounter a bug while the same iPhone user may not see the same bug.

Some users reported that their touch stopped working, an error showing the camera module is an unknown part, and a few minor bugs.

I didn't encounter any major bugs on the iPhone 12, although the iPhone doesn't feel as smooth as iOS 16.2.

However, most users are happy with the update so far and haven't noticed any major bugs.

If you want to update to iOS 16.3, wait for a few days and analyze the reviews from other iPhone users. This should help you with what to expect in the update.

iOS 16.3 seems to have fixed the horizontal line issue on the iPhone 14 Pro, so if you have the same issue you can update to iOS 16.3.
