I'm an avid tech specialist with a passion for software and hardware alike. I particularly like the Apple ecosystem, but enjoy tinkering with others as well. Twitter: @BouchardAnthony Listening auto-cycles between active noise cancellation & transparency modes based on your media playback
If you have any of Apple’s Bluetooth earbud or headphone offerings that support active noise cancellation and transparency mode, then you already know just how useful these features can seem. On the other hand, these features need to be toggled manually by the end user, which takes some of the ‘magic’ out of them.
YTAutoFullScreen automatically kicks any video you play in the YouTube app into full-screen mode
When you begin watching a video in the YouTube app, it first starts playing in the constrained upper-1/3 of ths display in portrait mode. You can then move to a fuller-screen experience in landscape mode by rotating your device.
CalcBrighter cranks your iPhone’s display brightness up to 100% when using the Calculator app
One of the things that I like about iOS is how it automatically brightens the display when showing a coupon or pass from the native Wallet app. While the intent behind this feature was to make scanning bar or QR codes easier, there are other apps where auto display brightness adjustments could be useful.
SpeedrunTime gives you a heads up about your iPhone’s dangerously low battery before it shuts down
It’s absolutely frustrating when your iPhone’s battery dies on you mid-game or while watching the climax of your favorite movie. Having said that, don’t you sometimes wish you had enough of a heads up to run and fetch your charger before that happens?
How to remove the Odyssey jailbreak without restoring your iPhone or iPad
If you jailbroke your iOS or iPadOS 13 device with the Odyssey tool and decided that it’s time to remove your jailbreak, either to revert to a vanilla installation of the operating system or for the purpose of starting over with a fresh jailbreak installation, then the Odyssey app’s built-in Restore RoofFS feature will come in handy.
Sh4dow gives jailbroken iPhones a redesigned Lock Screen that evokes a futuristic appeal
Apple hasn’t done all that much to make the iPhone’s Lock Screen any different in the past several iterations of iOS. Having said that, anyone feeling even slightly thirsty for something different might find a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Sh4dow by iOS developer sugiuta to be refreshing sight.
Batterain colors your iPhone’s battery level indicator based on your battery percentage
It was only around two weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak called dubbed Axe that upgraded the Status Bar’s battery level indicator with a slow-shifting color based on the percentage of your battery.
Some of the best jailbreak tweaks for location services on iOS 14
With all the apps out there that like to pry at your device’s location all the time, it’s no wonder that jailbreakers take their handset’s location service usage very seriously.
Feeling nostalgic for iOS 13’s ‘X’-style app deletion buttons? This tweak revives them on iOS 14
The process of deleting apps from your iPhone or iPad’s Home Screen has changed slightly over the years, as the user must now navigate a Haptic Touch menu before entering ‘jiggle’ mode to reveal the app deletion buttons.
This jailbreak tweak revives the Dislike button in the YouTube app
You might’ve caught wind recently about YouTube changing how the Dislike button works on its platform. In fact, the changes are already live for users.
TransparentDock is a new jailbreak tweak coded in Swift that makes the Dock’s background transparent
While I’ve always enjoyed having a background behind my iPhone’s Home Screen Dock, the fact remains that there are a substantial number of jailbreakers that partake in even more extreme forms of minimalism than me.
