iPhone owners warned to back up data before iOS 10.3

Minimalist · Mar 13, 2017

iPhone owners risk losing all their files if they don't back up their device before upgrading to the next version of iOS.

Apple is introducing a new file system with iOS 10.3 called the Apple File System (APFS).

It will replace the Apple Hierarchical File System (HFS+) which has been used by Apple since 1998.

During its implementation, APFS will automatically convert files on a user's iPhone to work with the new file system.

But given APFS and HFS+ are incompatible, should any issues occur during the switchover, user data could be permanently lost.

I've been running the 10.3 betas and have had no issues just FYI.
