Although there isn't a jailbreak for iOS 11 yet, that doesn't mean you can't have your cake and eat it too. Even if you're using a jailbroken iOS 10 device right now, you can enjoy several of iOS 11's new aesthetics and features by installing a few tweaks on it.

After Craig Feherighi demoed the iPhone X for the first time at last month's keynote, it became evident that several changes to the iOS user interface would need to accommodate for the new edge-to-edge OLED display, its rounded corners, and the notch.
One of the differences was in the App Switcher where each of the cards exhibits heavily-rounded corners that match the aesthetic of the device's display. Other iPhone models don’t have as pronounced of roundness, but a new free jailbreak tweak called switcherRadii by iOS developer CreatureSurvive can replicate this effect on your non-X handset.
