Jailbreak tweaks of the week: the floodgate is wide open

Talk about timing! As we were discussing the next best thing after jailbreaking on the last episode of Let's Talk Jailbreak, Pangu Team came out once again out of nowhere to surprise us with a release of their own. It seems the jailbreak drought is over and we can officially open the floodgates again. 

Top stories of the week: new iMacs, Magic Everything, and iOS 9 jailbreak

Like every Sunday, we get to take a look at some of the most popular posts that were published on iDB during the week that just ended. Whether it is a news item, a new jailbreak tweak, a tutorial, or an app review, we sum it all up in one convenient place for you.

iOS 9: should you jailbreak?

Every year, it seems jailbreaking loses a little bit of its appeal. It's not that the community is dying. It's just that hardware and software upgrades brought to iOS devices can make it a little less compelling to jailbreak.

If you are on the fence about jailbreaking, take a moment and read the next few paragraphs. I won't try to convince you to make the jump, because ultimately, jailbreaking is a personal decision, which as you will see, has much more drawbacks than benefits to offer.

iOS 9 jailbreak tweaks compatibility list

Most of us were taken by surprise by the release of the Pangu iOS 9 jailbreak yesterday, and although this is exciting news, there are still some things to keep in mind at this time, such as the fact that many tweaks won't be working right off the bat.

The good news is, Cydia Substrate has been updated for iOS 9. The bad news is, your favorite tweak might not have been yet. Fortunately, the community has once again come together and is working on an iOS 9 jailbreak tweaks compatibility list to help identify what tweaks are currently working and what tweaks aren't.

Tweaks of the week: BatteryIcon, Mimoji, More Recent, and more

Just when you thought the jailbreak community was being hit by a tweaks drought, developers come out of nowhere to prove me wrong. For instance, jailbreak developer Creatix is responsible for the launch of no less than four tweaks this past week, and although they won't revolutionize the way you use your iPhone, they certainly will make your life a bit easier.

Kudos to all these devs who are still releasing new tweaks. You guys keep up the good work!
