Hi,
LOL didn't give me enough time to turn into the public version.
OK, installing it now.

I'm sure there will be 10.3.x versions coming out, whether
there will
be a 10.4 is anybody's guess, but if the past is an indication
then
10.3 will be the last single dot update.
iOS 9 also just went up to version 9.3, but it went all the way
to
9.3.5 with that last update being released in late August, only
a few
weeks before the public release of iOS 10.
Here is a look back with an article from Forbs regarding the bug
in
iOS 9.3.4 and iOS 9.3.5 where Voiceover caused problems with
dictation:
vNext week Apple will launch the iPhone 7 and with it the
overhauled
iOS 10. But not every iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will get an
upgrade
to iOS 10, and Apple has just admitted the final version of iOS
9 has
been left with a nasty surprise...
'Great Features' and 'Nasty Surprises' are my regular
columns
investigating operating system updates for the best features /
biggest
problems hidden behind
the headlines.
So what happened?
In short Apple has decided to leave iOS 9 with an unfixed bug
that is
of minor inconvenience to many users, but which causes serious
problems for the visually impaired. The bug means use of
VoiceOver
corrupts voice dictation causing words to be repeated and
jumbled. It
is particularly bad in the Notification Center when quick
replying to
messages.
Having been contacted by a number of visually impaired users,
they
explained that the only workaround is hugely impractical. They
have to
turn off VoiceOver (which removes all audio navigational aids)
turn on
dictation, speak, turn off dictation (all without guidance) then
turn
VoiceOver back on. For the visually
impaired VoiceOver is essential, but so too is voice dictation.
VoiceOver is crucial for visually impaired iPhone and iPad
users, but
using it breaks voice dictation - an equally vital feature.

For its part, Apple confirmed to me the bug is known but it was
left
in iOS 9.3.4 and also in iOS 9.3.5 because it will be addressed
in iOS
10 (and is
fixed in the latest public beta). The problem is the iPhone 4S,
iPad
Mini, iPad 3rd gen and iPod touch 5th gen are not entitled to
iOS 10
upgrades so the
bug will remain and there will be little choice but to upgrade
to new
hardware.
As such I believe that if Apple knows how to fix the bug, and
iOS 10
shows it does, then the company should fix the bug for this
generation
of devices
which will be stranded on iOS 9. Technology has long had an
obsession
with looking forwards (and the
iPhone's future is very exciting) but in this case I would
strongly
urge Apple to also respect the past.
Regards,
Sieghard

Correct me if I am wrong but I heard that Ios 10.3 is the latest
one
before ios11 comes out around Indian summer this year. Maybe
one small
safety update or so but no major ios10 upgrade anymore
