Apple releases iOS 11.0.3 with minor bug fixes

Apple released iOS 11.0.3 on Wednesday as a minor update to the company's newest mobile operating system with small bug fixes and improvements targeting specific iPhone models.

In particular, the update sets its sights on the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus handsets, but it can be installed on any supported Apple device.

This tweak integrates your Bluetooth device usage with Activator

Bluetooth-enabled devices are sometimes incredibly handy, but the process of connecting, disconnecting, and toggling between their connections through iOS can be a cumbersome experience.

A new jailbreak tweak dubbed Tooth by iOS developer CreatureSurvive, strives to fix this by making these tedious tasks both quicker and easier for everyone. It integrates with Activator, letting you perform these actions from virtually anywhere with nothing more than a gesture.

UpsideBoard enables ‘upside-down’ orientation on your iPhone’s Home screen

One of the minor details that set Plus-sized iPhones apart from the rest of Apple's lineup is the extra support for landscape orientation throughout iOS, which extends to unexpected places like the Home screen.

The iPad offers similar Home screen orientations and undoubtedly served as inspiration for Plus-sized handsets, but Apple’s tablets also accommodate for upside-down viewing, while Plus-sized iPhones don't. A new free jailbreak tweak called UpsideBoard by iOS developer ipad_kid changes that.

NotificationCenterXI ports the iOS 11 Notification Center experience to jailbroken devices

iOS 11 brings with it a whole host of changes, and one of the most notable right off the bat is the updated look and feel for Notification Center. Unfortunately for jailbreakers, upgrading is out of the question.

If you fall into that category, then new free jailbreak tweak dubbed NotificationCenterXI (iOS 10) by iOS developer LaughingQuoll might interest you. It ports the iOS 11 Notification Center experience to jailbroken devices, allowing jailbreakers to have their cake and eat it too.
