From Monday news of this week, we are happy to hear that Apple released iOS 9.3(Beta 1) which brings many new features: Night Shift mode, Classroom app and new 3D Touch shortcuts. However, playing MKV movies on iOS 9.3 iPad Air 2/iPad Pro is still a big problem to many Apple fans. iOS 9.3 iPad Air 2/iPad Pro still doesn’t support for playing MKV movies natively.
