The landing of the new version of the iOS operating system did not go very smoothly, version 7 being penalized for poor performance, bugs and some stability issues. While waiting for a major update with new iPads, the company has just released a minor update, but it tries to solve the already annoying problem.

iOS 7.0.3 brings a pretty hefty list of improvements. First of all, abundant animations and graphic effects can now be significantly reduced, Apple offers by validating Reduce Motion option not only the blocking effect of parallax, as before, but also replaces maximization and minimization animations of programs with a much shorter lasting effect. Even those who do not want to give up these graphics fireworks will find improved animations performance or screen multitasking, especially for tablets.

List of repaired problems include restarts of iCloud integration with iWork suite applications, problems with sending messages via iMessage, the new gyro adjustment behavior of iPhone 5S and other less visible problems.
