What I think ?

I'm on a 6S, updated from 10.2.1 and I'm noticing a lot of improvement. Animations feel smoother, constant FPS, no droppings (sometimes the FPS would drop when I try to 3D touch homescreen icons, not anymore). However, I feel like Touch ID is a bit slower. Just a little bit. It's not blazing fast anymore.

RAM management seems to be a lot better on iOS 10.3 than iOS 10.2.1 and below. On my iPhone 6s, apps would slowly be removed from RAM throughout the day after a cold boot, even to the point where every app would need to be refreshed when launched. Presumably, Apple fixed some OS level memory leak or similar. 

This is a great release.
