What a week that was! Not so much in terms of jailbreak tweaks, but rather by the surprise release of the TaiG jailbreak, which pretty much came out of nowhere, although we knew progress was made on the iOS 8.3 jailbreak.
We've covered TaiG extensively with many tutorials to use the tool on Windows and Mac, so make sure to check these out if you're looking into jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad.
As far as tweak releases go, this week was pretty meager, but all of them are free, so go at it.

Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue put an end Sunday night to several days of controversy by saying that Apple will pay artist for streaming their songs during the customer's free trial period of its new Apple Music service.

In what seems to be the most uneventful week we've had in a long time, we saw the release of only a handful of tweaks, and nothing to really call home about.
Columba was the talk of the town, but those who tried it quickly came to the conclusion it doesn't hold a candle to biteSMS, a tweak it claims to be a replacement for.
Browsing through the new jailbreak apps and tweaks of this week won't take you long...

We often read success stories about how people use Find My iPhone or other tracking tools to locate their lost or stolen smartphone and end up recovering it. But we easily forget there is a sad flip side to these kind of stories, and the death of Canadian teenager Jeremy Cook is the tragic reminder of that.
When iPhone first came out in 2007, it was the first device to include Visual Voicemail, a feature that allows users to view their voicemails, scroll through them, and of course listen to them, directly from the device. With Visual Voicemail, no need to dial a number and go through an automated message system to listen to your voicemails.
Since everything is now handled directly on the phone, you can also change your voicemail password directly from your iPhone.
Even if news of a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 has been floating around, we shouldn't yell victory too soon. As far as I'm concerned, I won't get excited until there is tangible evidence that this is indeed happening. In the meantime, we can all look at we can use right now, namely a bunch of tweaks that have recently been released on Cydia.
