In addition to rolling out OS X Mavericks, Apple today released a maintenance update for iOS customers, delivering new tweaks and fixes.

iOS 7.0.3 (available for both iPhone and iPad) adds iCloud Keychain, a new tool that keeps track of your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers, and offers a Password Generator for your online accounts.

On iPhone 5s handsets, the lock screen has been updated to delay "slide to unlock" when Touch ID is in use. Users asking Apple to put back the ability to search the web and Wikipedia from Spotlight search will also be happy with this update.

Tons of bugs are fixed, such as an issue where iMessage failed to send for some users, and the reported accelerometer calibration issue.

The Bold Text setting has been updated to also change dial pad text. Full release notes are available in the Learn More section on your iDevice when you access Software Update.
