Already!
I just finished updating to 10.3! So, starting a new habit, I backed up both my 7+ and iPad (again) then did the update via iTunes. It is a pain to wait for the download, but it forces me to back-up. I won't mention how long I had gone before last week's back-up.

Automatic
Unless you prefer manual backups, you can have your iPhone backup automatically through settings in iTunes.
Then you can just fuhgeduhbouwdit.
When you are dead, you don’t know that you are dead. It is only difficult for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.
Backup
Every time my phone needs charging (every 3-4 days), I update my apps, plug in my phone which backs everything up, and charges it all at the same time.

That was quick
Feels like I just put on 10.3 and was thinking the battery was depleted more quickly again. Maybe they snuck in a fix for that also. One can only hope. Thanks for the heads up and details.

After a major point release, it's not unusual to see an initial reduction of battery life for a couple days as the new OS settles in and does all the re-indexing for search and stuff it does in the background... I don't even try to compare battery life between OS releases until 3 or 4 days after the new release and the new release never ends up being worse off for battery life in how I use my device(s).

So far so good
Nothing seems to go wrong yet.
Ditto
Seems to be running fine. Accidentally turned on two factor authentication. Every device updated was contacting others for approval and pin code. Sheesh. Turning it off proved a little trying if you don't remember your security answers. LOL.
