Apple has replaced the itunes.apple.com URLs when accessing listings from App Store and Mac App Store through a web browser with the new apps.apple.com domain in yet another sign that the iPhone maker is unshackling itself from the past and moving forward.
Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS firmware updates come jam-packed with new features that are certain to have jailbreakers’ mouths watering.
Fortunately, the jailbreak community has a way of porting many of Apple’s latest software features to older versions of iOS such that jailbreakers don’t feel so bad about not upgrading, and a new free jailbreak tweak release called Rishima (BETA) by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 is an excellent example of this.
iOS comes with a native text replacement feature that lets users set shortcuts that will automatically expand to full words or phrases when typed. But wouldn’t it be neat if the same concept applied for images?
I’ve long wondered about this myself, and so I’m excited to share that a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ImageCorrect by iOS developer Satvik Borra brings this feature to pwned handsets.
If you’re interested in giving your jailbroken handset a refreshingly-pleasant aesthetic makeover, then you just might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Vibrancy by iOS developer Dylan Duff.
Vibrancy transforms the look and feel of your iOS device by adding bright and vibrant blurs to many of your handset’s user interface. Out of the box, Vibrancy supports each of the following components of iOS:
Siri can make interacting with your iOS handset easier, and more specifically, the ‘Hey Siri’ feature comes in handy when you have dirty hands and you don’t want to touch your device. But when your handset is locked, Apple prevents Siri from accessing certain things to protect your privacy from those who may try to exploit her handiness to reveal personal information about you.
While we can understand Apple’s reasoning for doing this, we also understand that some iOS device power users care more about functionality than privacy, and so it would’ve been nice if Apple offered more flexibility in this department. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SiriUnlock by iOS developer CokePokes makes this happen.
iOS 13's Safari lacks the iPad-only capabilities afforded by the iPadOS software, such as the ability to create multiple browser windows by dragging, but there are plenty of other feature enhancements to make it a worthwhile update, like a dedicated download manager.
Google is working on a successor to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, a handset that will more than likely be unveiled in October later this year. Before that happens, though, the rumor mill has to do its thing, revealing details one by one. But it turns out Google wants to do things a bit differently this year.
At this year's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Apple took some time to announce a brand new, secure way to log into websites and applications. The new "Sign in with Apple" is meant to help customers navigate the internet, their favorite sites and apps, and keep things a bit more anonymous along the way. And despite having a competing button with a very different outlook, Google's login chief likes Apple's methodology.
Apple is reworking the Health app to offer a more personalized approach. The company showed off a variety of the changes coming to the app at this year's WWDC keynote, with plans to launch the redesigned app alongside iOS 13 later this year.
Animated GIFs seem to be one of the most popular things people share these days aside from photos. Whether on social media or in text messages, those short animations are everywhere. You can share something sweet, thoughtful, hilarious, sarcastic, or wacky, and the list goes on.
If you search Google, you’ll find tons of GIFs for the topic you need. But why bother when you can use a keyboard specifically for them? These are the best GIF keyboard apps for iPhone and iPad to bring fun to your messages.
The iPhone XR is already billed as the iPhone with the best battery life by Apple, but that doesn't mean there still isn't room for improvement. A new rumor suggests Apple will be moving in that direction with the iPhone XR successor this year.
About a month ago, iDB brought you a video of our unboxing experience and initial review of Apple's new Beats-branded Powerbeats Pro sporty earbuds. After one full month of usage, we've decided to do a thorough comparison with the new AirPods.
