Apple has just seeded iOS 10.3 beta 1 today to all developers worldwide giving everyone a glimpse of what to expect once the software becomes available to consumers once the beta process has concluded. The update introduces new features and changes including the Find My AirPods feature but it's also possible that some of these changes might not make to the final release.

The new iOS 10.3 beta 1 has now included Find My AirPods feature to the Find My iPhone app allowing users to locate their earphones if they lose them. This must be the reason why an app that will allow users to find their AirPods was taken off from the App Store, according to a report.

Cricket fans can now regularly check on international cricket games as well as the Indian Premiere League (IPL) matches by asking Siri for the score. There have been SiriKit enhancements made as well such as its ability to schedule rides with apps like Lyft and Uber, allow users to pay bills, check payment status and many more.

The motion effect in Safari has been a concern to many iOS users but with the latest iOS 10.3 beta 1, users now have a Reduce Motion preference when browsing the web. The stock Apple Podcast app now has its own widget for use on iPads and iPhones.

Moreover, for those who have car entertainment systems supporting Apple CarPlay would be able to use the app shortcuts for recent apps used without the need of going back to the HomeScreen. More additions and changes to the iOS 10,3 beta 1 include HomeKit enhancements, the APFS, a new user profile and security section, hourly weather forecast via 3D Touch, in-app store reviews and ratings and color-coded iCloud storage summary.

Ars Technica though doesn't recommend anyone to install and run iOS 10.3 beta software on any Mac or iDevices that they use every day but for those who have devices for testing, they can sign up for Apple's public beta program.
