In an unexpected turn of events, the Cydia Store blew up with new releases during the week of the event where Apple unveiled the new iPhone 8 & 8 Plus and the new iPhone X.
In this piece, we'll go over all the new jailbreak tweaks released this week, starting with our favorites first, and then moving on to the rest afterward.
Anyone who uses the timer in iOS knows that it's useful for one of two things: 1) to count down for something special, or 2) to make your music playback stop after a designated amount of time.
If you use your iOS timer for both cases mentioned above frequently, then it can be cumbersome to switch back and forth between your favorite sound and the "Stop Playing" option for each situation. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called DynamicTimer by iOS developer KingPuffdaddi helps automate this process.
As Apple expands upon the Photos app with each new iteration of iOS, it becomes cluttered with extraneous features that many users have no intention of using. Among those are the bevy of sorting albums that break down the contents of your Camera Roll.
Although some embrace the automatic album sorting, others prefer the manual control they had in older versions of iOS. If you fall into the latter category, then a new free jailbreak tweak called DenyPhotoAlbums by iOS developer CydiaGeek might be worth checking out.
Admittedly, I’ve never really liked the way folders looked in some of the latest iterations of iOS. They take up the whole screen, but only utilize a fraction of it for a functional purpose. In my opinion, Apple is wasting so much space with the current setup.
A new free jailbreak tweak called Bolders by iOS developer candoizo helps fix some of these shortcomings by transforming iOS folders into actual full-screen works of art.
Whenever you adjust your iPhone’s volume, a HUD appears that indicates your volume level while you tinker with it.
Not everyone is a fan of the way the volume HUD looks, hence why so many tweaks modifying its appearance exist in Cydia, but iOS developer Cole Cabral had another idea, so a new free jailbreak tweak called NowPlayingHUD was born.
Compared to other operating systems, iOS' Photos app has always left a lot to be desired. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called PhotoManager by iOS developer Frozen Penguin can fill in the blanks with the features you’ve always wanted in your stock photo app.
Compared to some tweaks, which just add one extra bell or whistle here and there, PhotoManager introduces a plethora of genuinely useful features that you’ll actually use. For that reason, I found it very exciting to delve into what the tweak has to offer, and I think you'll feel the same way once you see it for yourself.
When you perform certain actions in Apple’s Music app, such as queueing a song to play next, a massive alert pops up that’s nearly as intrusive as the stock volume HUD is.
A new free jailbreak tweak called MusicAlertsSmallerPlz by iOS developer HiDan works to shrink those alerts to a more comfortable size to help keep them out of your way as you use the Music app.
The Lock screen is a great place to check the time, but if you want to add some personality to your time-telling, you might be interested in a new jailbreak tweak called TextyClock by iOS developer NeinZedd9.
As shown in the example above, the tweak spells out the current time in English, rather than displaying a digital clock as you’re probably accustomed to by now.
The Spotify app keeps a running history of all the things you search for; on the other hand, not everyone wants to have their search history recorded.
With a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed NoHistory for Spotify by iOS developer Squ1dd13, you can prevent the Spotify app from remembering your previous searches.
The Apple Watch Series 3 is almost what everyone has been waiting for in an Apple Watch since the beginning: the ultimate luxury of cellular connectivity such that an iPhone isn’t required to use the device.
Although both cellular + GPS and -only models are available, and we go over the tech specs of both in this piece, so you’re aware of what’s under the hood on the latest Apple Watch models.
Apple took the stage on Tuesday to announce a significant step forward in the iPhone as an everyday handset. The iPhone X gives Apple’s smartphone a sexy edge-to-edge OLED display complete with wireless charging, Face ID, and a whole truckload of other new features worth mentioning.
In this piece, we’ll provide an overview of the tech specs of Apple’s new flagship smartphone, which you can pre-order beginning October 27th and begins shipping this November.
Read about the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus technical specifications including size, display, battery, cellular, cameras, and more.
On September 12, 2017, Apple unveiled an essential upgrade from the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus that the company dubs the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
The two new handsets bring hardware and cosmetic upgrades to the current iPhone lineup. An all-glass front and rear that are reminiscent of the days of the iPhone 4/4s are standard in all three colors. Apart from that, the bodies look and feel a lot like the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus you might already use, but with a few minor tweaks.
