It is definitely patch day at Apple. The Cupertino-based giant has just released four new versions of its four operating systems for all its devices, namely iOS 10.3, macOS 10.12.4, watchOS 3.2 and tvOS 10.2. Apparently, some of those updates are more essential than others.
The iOS 10.3 offers load of new impressive features. Some of which include the Find My AirPods, iCloud storage breakdown and more. Find My AirPods obviously saves time and money as the new feature can locate the latest whereabouts of the 'Pods when it was most recently connected with the user's phone. Not only that, users can also ping the 'Pods and make them ring. Moreover, with the iCloud storage breakdown, users can now see how many gigs of storage the apps utilized with more details.

In watchOS 3.2, Apple is finally updating Siri to let users utilize Siri with third-party apps, just like on their phones. For example, users could order a Lyft or call someone using WhatsApp from their Apple Watches. Additionally, there is a new Theater Mode button as well. This makes the screen remain dark in a movie theater.
On macOS, the Cupertino-based giant is bringing Night Shift. Just like f.lux, it apparently favors warmer colors at night. This can expectedly improve people's sleep. Real-time collaboration in iWork on iOS and macOS is out of beta.
tvOS 10.2 does not add much except the ability to rent a movie on an Apple device and watch it on another, just like the Apple TV. However, this is already a long-overdue feature.
It is worth noting that before updating, Apple users should back-up their devices to iCloud or on their computers. This would be very important especially for iOS devices, as the new file system implements a big change. Users can update by heading over to the Settings app on their iPhones or iPads. For the macOS update, they can open the Mac App Store. Lastly, Apple Watch update can be done by opening the Watch app on the iPhone.
