The wait for the arrival of iTunes 11 was certainly extensive, and although we always knew it would be arriving at some point in 2012, we didn't perhaps foresee that we'd be waiting right until the very end of the year to sink our teeth into it. Still, in terms of major bugs and issues, the latest and greatest release has been relatively incident-free, and to continue in that vein, Apple has just released iTunes 11.0.3 with a couple of minor improvements.
