Apple iOS 9.3 is more than the regular incremental release, boasting some significant changes to the stock apps in the operating system.
On Monday, Apple made the sixth beta of iOS 9.3 available to both developers and testers of its Apple Beta Software Program.
According to Techno Buffalo, there was no major change in the latest iteration, and it is probably the last beta version before the public release.

Night Shift, a new feature in iOS 9.3, reduces the blue bright light emitted by the device display at night, making the display less glaring to read at night. Additionally, it reduces the effect of using mobile devices before bed to circadian rhythms which affect sleep quality.
Meanwhile, confidential information stored within the built-in Notes app can now be locked by a Notes app-specific password or using your fingerprint through Touch ID. The added security protects personal data such as bank information or website passwords.
The Health app has also been refreshed, displaying new health information from the connected Apple Watch. There is also a deeper integration with third-party health apps, which can be accessed from the dashboard.
Owners of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus would also have easier access to functionality through more 3D Touch features. Settings, Health, App Store, Weather, and other apps would now have Quick Access menus from the home screen just like the other stock IOS apps.
Exclusive for education users, IOS 9.3 would bring multi-user logins to the iPad. This would allow students from school districts to use any of their school-owned iPads to make use of their personal content.
CarPlay users would also experience new features such as the Apple Music for CarPlay. New tabs such as "New" and "For You" would be introduced, enabling users to discover new music.
While it is uncertain when Apple would choose to release the latest version of its mobile operating system iOS, an Apple Special Event is likely to happen this spring as Apple introduces the newest versions of its flagship products.
During the keynote in this event, it is highly probable that Apple would subsequently announce the public release of iOS 9.3.
