Apple always gives two versions of iOS
to restore whenever it releases a new version. So that people have ability
to downgrade their devices to the previous version if they are not
satisfied with the new one and find some issues and bug. But after some time,
it stops signing the previous version.

Note: If you are on lower iOS
versions like 9.3.3, 9.3.2, 9.2 stay away from update because jailbreak
is only available on lower version of iOS. If you are a jailbreakers, do
not upgrade to iOS 10.0.2 or 10.0.3 as there is no jailbreak for it.
So it’s better to stay on older version of iOS for now.
