The iPhone or iPad will automatically reboot to complete the update process. How long it takes to complete updating to iOS 12.3 depends on a variety of factors, including the current iOS version, the device itself, and the speed of internet service.
You can also choose to update to iOS 12.3 with iTunes on a computer.

Another option is to connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac or Windows PC with the latest version of iTunes and to update to iOS 12.3 from iTunes. Once again, be sure to backup your device before beginning.
- Connect the iPhone or iPad to a computer with iTunes
- Backup the iOS device, then choose to Update system software when the iOS 12.3 update is shown as available

How do you disable in app purchases on version 12.3 it’s not the same as previous versions where you went to general then to restrictions but it’s not the same on version 12.3 can anyone help thanks
I recently did factory reset to my IPhone 6 because my son entered wrong passcode till it gets disable. After factory reset it installed with the latest version of IOS 12.3
After factory reset, all my apps got deleted. Now I am trying to login to App Store but I’m unable to login with my Apple ID (I am giving correct credentials). After entering the correct credentials I clicked on Sign in link it’s trying to signing in but not signed in successfully. I tried this for more than 15 times but no use. On this sign in screen I waited for max 20 mins even though it was trying to sign in but when I go back and come to the sign in page it again asking for credentials.
When I try to install any app after clicking on GET button it keep on rotating but downloading was not even started.
I am not sure what is the problem here.
12.3 download started today and on my iPhone 8 plus it says it will take 1 day to download while on my ipad mini 4 it will take 17hours. why?
Your internet connection is slow and those are the speeds that it will download at.
12.3 worked fine on my XS Plus. (work phone) I then tried on my personal phone, an iPhone 8 Plus. It got stuck on the screen with the logo and progress bar. It has been like this for four hours. I can’t seem to force a reboot and the home button is dead…like it has no power. I’m hoping it will resolve itself when the battery dies
It went well on my iPhone XS and on my Apple Watch series 4 too. I did, however notice some changes not mentioned anywhere: the wallet interface was tweaked once again, this time removing the place holders for merchant logos (introduced by iOS 12) and prominently featuring the list of recent transactions (previously only the last transaction was immediately visible upon tapping a card, while access to the rest of the list was achieved by tapping on the ellipsis … button on the top right)/ Also, a new settings section called ‘express transit’ was added both in the wallet app and in the watch app’s wallet & Apple Pay section. This new setting allows to select a card and enable payment on public transit systems without authenticating or double-clicking anything (i.e., by simply holding the iPhone or Apple Watch close to the NFC reader).
12.3 update bricked my iPad Pro 9.7in Wifi/Cell. Black screen, nothing else. Just got off the phone with Apple Support. They were very polite and helpful, but couldn’t get my iPad working. I guess we’ll have to wait to see what they come up with for a fix. Others have reported the problem to Apple.
I installed iOS 12.3 on my iPad and it went without a hitch, was pretty fast too about 20 minutes to complete the update.
I have not tried updating my iPhone X yet though, it’s on an older iOS 12 because I can’t accept *any* downtime on the phone. I wish Apple would introduce the iOS updates onto an update partition, I read that Android does it that way and it makes it so it’s basically impossible to crash the update? I don’t know, sounds good if true!
