Wrapping up weeks of beta testing, Apple on Monday released the completed version of iOS 10.2.1, a minor update for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The code fixes various bugs and security vulnerabilities in iOS 10.2, according to Apple's release notes. It can be downloaded over-the-air via the Software Update function in the iOS Settings app — located under the General menu — or else by connecting a device to iTunes on a desktop or laptop.
Apple released four betas of iOS 10.2.1, seeding versions to developers and the public. In that time, no new features or major fixes were discovered.
Apple is rumored to be preparing its first beta of iOS 10.3 for release later this month. That may include an alleged "Theater" mode, making iPhones less obnoxious if a person has to bring one out during a movie or stage show. It could in theory mute sounds, lower screen brightness, and block incoming communications.

But that's too hard when I need constant snapchat/FB/Twitter/Instgram updates for two hours during a movie. My attention span cannot be bothered by such nonsense

Please please please let this fix the nonexistent 30% battery issue that Apple says millions of iPhone 5 and 6 users are not experiencing.
I would be absolutely thrilled to see the random "No Service" issue fixed. It appears on mine and my wife's, iPads (mini current gen and air2), sitting in the same room with full "bars" of service on the other devices in the house. Totally random and totally annoying.
