Source: Apple is upgrading millions of iOS devices to a new modern file system today
Most of the features in iOS 10.3 aren’t major, but Apple is actually undertaking a pretty huge shift for all iPad and iPhone users today. Within iOS 10.3, Apple is moving supported devices to its new Apple File System (APFS). As APFS is designed to be low latency, this should also improve read and write speeds on iOS or Mac devices

Now this is a serious update (the APFS). I'm no Apple fan, but i have to say, great job Apple! Now all is left to do is to distribute this to the world, and hope everything will go just fine.
