The news about the release of iOS 9.3.5 took iPhone owners by surprise, particularly since the iOS 9.3.4 was just rolled out earlier this month. The question now is should you update to the latest version?

In essence, the need to provide a newer update was necessitated when the Pangu team released the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak. But there's supposedly no difference between the iOS 9.3.5 and the iOS 9.3.4 except for the security fix.

However, some quarters claimed that updating to the latest version will make your iPhone perform faster. But reports are too varied at this point to make a conclusive decision on which iOS is better.

Some said that in the multi-core CPU environment, the iOS 9.3.5 performed better but by a slim margin. In the single-core test, the iOS 9.3.4 performed by two points. ValueWalk meanwhile noted that the iPhone 4 boots up slower with the latest version of the OS while the iPhone 5 boots up much faster with iOS 9.3.5.

Nevertheless, it differs on the iPhone 5s which seems to perform much better using the iOS 9.3.4.

However, if all these news reports are bothering you, you can just skip the iOS 9.3.4 or iOS 9.3.5 and go directly to iOS 10. You do need to register for the beta as Apple is already in its seventh developer and sixth public beta.

It must be remembered, however, that the iOS 10 is still in beta stage at this point although you don't have long to wait since the final version will be launched at the iPhone event in early September.
