His never-ending hunger for knowledge is why you’ll always find him tinkering – tearing things apart and putting them back together to understand what makes them tick.
Jailbreaking iPhones and iPads runs deep in our culture here at iDownloadBlog, and for that reason, we dedicate much of our time and attention to this hobby for fellow users like us that want to get the most out of their handset without being under Apple’s thumb.
After a long and annoying battle with GitHub’s customer support team, iOS developer LeminLimez’ GitHub account has finally been un-banned and un-suspended as of Friday morning. This means that everyday users who want to download and use LeminLimez’ projects from GitHub can finally do so again as of now.
For the first time ever, iOS & iPadOS 18 offer a feature in the Photos app that users have wanted for a long time: looped video playback. This means that when previewing a video in your Photo Library, it will restart from the beginning and play again once the playback reaches its end for a continuous playback that never ends until you swipe away from it.
Your friends at iDB have once again looked far and wide for deals to be had on Nintendo Switch games and accessories, and we’ve procured the following list of savings that gamers just like us should be excited to check out.
A feature that I use all the time when recording videos on my iPhone is the still capture button. This button allows you to capture a still frame as a photograph file even as you continue recording a video, and it doesn’t interrupt the video recording process in any way.
Starting with iOS 18, iPhone users can finally tap a pause button to temporarily suspend video recording in the Camera app while in the middle of capturing video. They can then easily resume video recording to build upon the existing video file instead of making an entirely new one.
In addition to the recently released CameraModes jailbreak tweak that iOS developer PoomSmart recently released for controlling which shooting modes do and don’t appear in your device’s native Camera app, the developer has also released a new and free jailbreak tweak called EModeji that replaces the names of your Camera app’s shooting modes with Emojis.
There are several different modes you can utilize in the Camera app for capturing photographs and recording videos, but people seldom use every single one, resulting in what feels like a bloated Camera app experience that some users may feel like paring down to a less-bloated state.
Apple on Wednesday released a pair of software updates for some of the company’s most popular wireless earbuds, including the AirPods Pro 2 with MagSafe Charging Case (USB-C), AirPods Pro 2 with MagSafe Charging Case (Lightning), AirPods 4, and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.
If you utilize widgets on your Home Screen at all, then you probably value seeing information at a glance. But what if you also value seeing your wallpaper? Unfortunately, the size of iOS’ Home Screen widgets can sort of… get in the way.
iOS developer LeminLimez has been hard at work on their popular Nugget system customization tool for iOS & iPadOS 17.0 and later, not only enabling a full-blown graphical user interface (GUI) to replace the less popular command line interface (CLI), but also attempting to remove the computer element entirely.
It was only a few weeks ago that we first showed you MisakaX, a project by iOS developers @straight_tamago and @Little_34306 that made use of the SparseRestore exploit (the same one used by TrollRestore to install TrollStore on iOS & iPadOS 17.0) to modify iPhone and iPads via system backups.
