iOS 5.1 Blocks Access To Settings Shortcuts On Your Home Screen

Multiple tricks for gaining quick access to settings toggles on the iPhone's Home screen have been making the news lately, and many rejoiced that such a thing could be accomplished without needing to jailbreak.

In the iOS 5.1 beta, it's been discovered that Apple has blocked access to these settings shortcuts. How lame!

Other than some minor bug fixes, code references, and limited Siri API access for developers, iOS 5.1 doesn't bring much of anything new to the table. It does, however, block the use of URL schemes to access system settings on the Home screen.
