The patch notes are as follows:
Ver. 12.0.3 (Released June 7, 2021)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
Very thrilling, indeed.
Some users, like u/warteschlange on Reddit, reported an error that occurred when accessing the eShop, Error 2123-1502. After calling Nintendo, they were assured that the new 12.0.3 update would fix the issue. If you had experience with this error or had trouble accessing the Nintendo Switch eShop reliably in the last few weeks, the 12.0.3 issue should remedy it.
The update was probably seen as necessary ahead of E3, where we expect many great games to be announced for the Nintendo Switch this year. Nintendo has stated that they are only focusing on games releasing in 2021, but we have lots of hopes for what we want to see at E3.
