To stay ahead of everyone it is important that
you keep your cheap phone up to date. Apple tends to release a new iOS update
every now and then. With every update come some new and amazing features.
Recently, you will be getting notification regarding the iOS 11.3 update. You
can install it on your second hand iPhone 6 and above.
We do believe that iOS 11.3 does not have as
many features as its previous update, but there is a lot of improvement. Once
you date your iPhone 7 second hand, cheap iPhone 8 and refurbished iPhone X to
iOS 11.3 we are sure you will love all that it has to offer. Initially, only
the beta version was available so people who could not wait to test the new
feature updated there phone. However, for those who wanted a more stable
version the wait is finally over. You can download iOS 11.3 on your refurbished
iPhone 7, refurbished iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
Messages on iCloud - Refurbished Apple iPhones
After such a long wait, it seems that finally,
we will be able to enjoy Messages on iCloud. The entire process is pretty
simple, all you have to do is open the iCloud Settings app and toggle on the
Message option. Then launch the messages app and you will be able to see the
Welcome Prompt. If you are still using the beta version, you will have to
enable this option via the Message Settings. If you want to use this feature
with your Mac, it is that you are running MacOS 10.13.4 beta 1 or higher else
the feature won’t work well.
i) Ensure your iPhone’s Battery Health
This feature was not incorporated in the first
beta version of iOS 11.3; however, it did make an appearance in the second beta
version. To check the health of your battery go to Setting and tap on the
battery option. Now you will able to see your batteries maximum capacity along
with its peak performance. If any sort of battery service is needed, the
settings will indicate that as well.
ii) iPhone X Only- Enjoy 4 New Anmoji
You must already be enjoying the 12 amazing
Animojis on your iPhone X. The new iOS 11.3 introduces another four Animoji for
you to enjoy on your iPhone X. These four Animoji has a global feel to them; it
seems that Apple is really working hard to keep its internal customers happy.
These four Animoji include lion, skull, bear and a dragon.
iii) Disable Power Throttling
With iOS 10.2.1 Apple secretly implemented a
power throttling feature. In iOS 11.3 you can now disable this feature if you
want to. This throttling was because of weak batteries that could lead to
unexpected shutdowns. If shutdowns do not happen, it is going to affect the
overall performance of the phone.
So, if you want to increase your cheap phone’s
performance and don’t mind few shutdowns, then you need to toggle this option
off in the Peak Performance Capability section. In case your phones start
throttling, you can disable this option. You will have to disable the
option again after an unexpected or on purpose shutdown.
iv) Phone Compatibility
The option is available for cheap iPhone 7 second hand,
iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 Plus deals, iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6/ iPhone 6 Plus.
For iPhone 8, iPhone X, and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple has included some hardware
fixes so they will not require this particular option. However, you still can
see the data available in the battery health tool.
v) The New iOS 11.3 Supports AirPlay 2
Support for AirPlay 2 is another feature that
people have been waiting for. It did make an appearance in the previous
version, but finally, something good is going to happen. At the moment the
feature only supports multiroom playback with Apple Television. These
televisions have to run tvOS 11.3; however, the feature is eventually going to
support HomePod and compatible speakers. You will have to use the control
center to control the speakers in your home.
vi) Health App Now Displays your Health Record
If you are a regular Apple health app user,
you are in for a treat. The new iOS 11.3 brings a lot of change to the health
app on your iPhone 7 second hand, or iPhone 8 and iPhone X. The app will become
very effective if you visit clinics that support the app. Now you will be able
to see medical data such as upcoming procedures, medications, lab results,
immunizations, known conditions, visits, allergies, records and much more. To
get started to go Health Data and tap on Health Records.
vii) Increased Privacy Awareness
Now when Apple accesses your personal
information a new icon will appear. This is to show that Apple really is
working hard to let you know regarding the type of data it collects. The
privacy icon in the Settings app is of a different color. The new icon is of blue
color instead of gray. Since Apple believe that Privacy is everyone’s right
thus, all its products are design
- Have a strong security foundation
- Allows you to control your information and provides transparency
- Limit the use of data and the collection of it.
- You use on-device processing.
- Advance Mobile Support
Now when you make an emergency call, your
location will be automatically sent due to the new Advance Mobile Location.
This is a great thing as it is pretty difficult for the emergency service
provider to find your location. You will have to tell them audibly where
exactly you are located, but your location will be sent to them automatically
the moment you make a call.
viii) You Will Soon be Able to Enjoy Music Videos on
Apple Music
If you are an Apple music subscriber, you will
be able to stream all your music videos without any ads. However, we are not
sure whether this feature will include all the music videos that are available
on iTunes. You will even be able to make video playlists so that you could
collect your songs in one playlist.
ix) ARKit 1.5 Supports More
This is not something a user will be able to
see, but it for sure is an important thing for developers. Now they will be
able to take the advantage of the augmented reality for this apps via the
ARkit. Previous Kits supported only horizontal surfaces but the new version
supports the vertical surfaces as well. The auto-focus works and the
resolutions are 50%higher.
x) iBooks is Now Called Books
This is something strange, why could Apple
rename iBooks to just books. The corresponding MacOS still calls it iBooks. We
believe this has something to do with the overall change that Apple is planning
for the iBooks. However, it is not very obvious but we are hoping for it.
xi) Sort Review on App Store
This comes handy when you want to know whether
the app is worth a shot or not. Until now, a lot of users have complained this
inability to sort review, but with iOS things have changed. You can sort
reviews according to different genres, including the most recent, most
critical, most favorable and most helpful.
xii) Game Center Friends- Delete Them Individually
It was not possible to remove individual Game
Center friend until now. One had to delete the entire list to remove one
friend, but with iOS 11.3 things have changed. You can now remove friend
individually. Go to Game Center, tap on friends and from the same menu delete
the ones you want to remove.
xiii) Enjoy More Information on App Updates
If you are among those who first read the
entire update information before updating the app, this is the perfect thing
for you. Apple iOS 11.3 now provides detailed information regarding the
upcoming update. You will be able to see the file size, and the version number
listed at the bottom of the update. This is interesting as you will be able to
tell the exact version of the app. Also, before the update, you would know the
amount of space it will take and whether you are willing to give away that
space right now or not.
xiv) iPhone X Only – Faster App Switcher
You can now enjoy a faster app switcher way on
your iPhone X, all thanks to iOS 11.3. Swipe from the bottom and access the app
switcher, you might not be able to notice it for the first time. However, with
time you will see that iOS 11.3 brings faster app switcher.
Alpha Smartphones
You can update your iPhone 6 and above to iOS
11.3 and enjoy all these features. You might not be able to buy iPhone 6 or buy
iPhone 7 as Apple no longer manufactures it, however, you can buy them via
Alpha Smartphones. They excel in selling refurbished and used cheap smartphones
at a very reasonable price. To know more about used iPhones deals, you should go
through Alpha Smartphones.
Summary
The new iOS 11.3 comes with a bang, there
might not be as much change as there were with iOS 11.2, yet there is plenty to
keep you busy. With iOS 11.3 on your used iPhone 7, refurbished iPhone 8 or refurbished
iPhone X you will be able to enjoy advance mobile support feature, better
privacy settings, disable Power-throttling mode and much more. The iBooks is
now called Books and you will be able to sort review on App Store.
