On the eve of the release of iOS 9, we can’t help but feel concerned about the future of jailbreaking. Will rootless make this an impossible thing? Is there such thing as impossible when talking about software though? We’ve seen encouraging signs from iH8sn0w this week, but only time will tell if this something that will actually happen, especially in regards to new devices being shipped.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy what we have now, as there is a number of interesting tweaks that were released this past week.
Aria 2: a beautifully redesigned Music app ($0.99)
CleanSheets: changes the action sheets to an alert popup (free)
GoToAlbum: adds an option in the Music app to go directly to the Now Playing song’s album (free)
