Hi all,
I completely forgot to update to 10.3.3 and now the only update available on iTunes or in the Settings is for iOS 11. Since I was thinking of checking iOS11 out with the option to downgrade to iOS10 I wanted to know where I could find the 10.3.3 version in order to upgrade, and if it was still possible to do so.

Downloading the file. I'll backup both times. A question, my old two iPhone backups are merged in one big file shown in iTunes and Finder - should I delete it and start anew if I want to do a restore it later?

Thinking to do the same, when usually they stop signing it?
It's hard to say. Often enough it's at least a week or two if not a few when a brand new x.0 version is released, but can be sooner than that.

Will take the "risk" and wait few more days... I'm still debating with myself if i should upgrade to 10.3.3 from 10.3.2 that came with my SE, hopefully it'll fix the annoying disappearing 'Today view' bug from my lock screen, but can drain the battery quicker as some ppl complain, or should i skip it and move to iOS11...

Updated to iOS11 and seems fine for now, no bugs, though I seem to notice a shorter battery life.
A question: my iPhone backup iTunes folder on my Mac is pretty big - 20gb, but I have a copy of it elsewhere. Do you think I could delete it and backup my phone again, to decrease space?

I’ll stay with 10.3.3 and the annoying disappearing Today View bug im having on the lock screen, till they'll fix the battery drain problem and bring back the on\off toggle function for WiFi & BT in the Control Canter.

There is always hope they'll come to their senses in the next update, and bring back this useful on\off function.

Tbh I find it very useful and I don't understand the complaints. The battery draining, especially for the bluetooth side, is the constant search for new devices/connections. By disabling the connection you leave the airdrop and continuity functions working and don't have to worry about the rest

If i want to use Airdrop i'll turn it on and use it, but when im not using it i want to keep it close\turn it off completely, same goes with WiFi and BT. Dont see the point of keeping all the antennas on 24\7 if i dont use\need them.
