Repair experts over at iFixit have torn apart their Apple Watch Series 6 unit to peek what's under the hood. Their teardown analysis confirms that the new wearable device from Apple is equipped with a beefier battery and sports a bigger Taptic Engine, too, among other findings.
Apple last Thursday seeded the first beta of the upcoming watchOS 7.1 software update to its registered developers, but the company's new Blood Oxygen app along with the new watch faces from watchOS 7.0 appear to be missing from the release. Here's what's going on...

If Apple's new Solo Loop or Braided Solo Loop band for the Apple Watch Series 6 feels loosey on your wrist or too tight to get on and off the wrist, and you'd like to have it replaced, know that you'll need to return the entire watch to Apple in order to get a different-sized band.
If you somehow manage to overlook the plethora of notification banners that stack up on top of one another on the Lock Screen, then you’ll be met later on with a myriad of red notification badges from the moment you authenticate and arrive at the Home Screen.

If you’re jailbroken on iOS 13 and use Spotify as your primary music streaming app, then chances are you might find yourself wishing that Siri worked as smoothly with Spotify as it did with Apple Music. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called Spori by iOS developer udevs can make that happen.

Not even one week after Apple officially released iOS and iPadOS 14 to the general public, the checkra1n team has released checkra1n version 0.11.0 with support for Apple’s latest and greatest mobile operating system (albeit with a catch).
The checkra1n Twitter page shared the announcement late Monday night, followed closely by commentary from Todesco himself:

By default, incoming phone and FaceTime calls appear as a compact banner at the top of the screen of your unlocked iPhone. It doesn't take up the whole screen.
