Just this week, a U.S. district judge dismissed an eyebrow-raising lawsuit that was filed against Apple at the end of last year by none other than Cydia creator Jay Freeman (A.K.A. Saurik), a name that many jailbreakers and iDownloadBlog readers alike will recognize as ‘The Father of Jailbreaking.’
I frequently use the Lock Screen-based Quick Action buttons to use the flashlight or Camera on my iPhone, but I’ll admit I wish there were more shortcut options at my disposal than just those two.
Minimalists tend to appreciate having as little clutter as possible, and that personality often rubs off on the user’s personal iPhone or iPad.
AltServer and AltStore are a software duet that utilizes free or paid Apple Developer-enabled Apple IDs to sign and install apps outside of the App Store.
There are many different jailbreak tweaks that can boost both the accessibility and convenience of certain features in iOS or iPadOS 14, and it’s that very wide array of available jailbreak tweaks that can make finding and installing the best ones a challenge for even the most seasoned jailbreakers.

While it now seems unlikely for @pattern_f_ to share the exploit for A12 & A13 handsets running iOS & iPadOS 14.6-14.8 with the Odyssey Team for use in the Taurine jailbreak the same way it’s currently being used by the unc0ver jailbreak, some good news for Taurine users is that a new beta of libhooker is available for testing.
One of the things you can do after starting a group chat in your iPhone’s native Messages app is rename the group chat to make it more distinguishable from others. Sadly, the process to do that is somewhat convoluted.
The iPhone’s Lock Screen user experience is both simple and user-friendly. But if you’re a power user, then you might find yourself demanding more, especially if you favor functionality over user-friendliness.
iPhone and iPad owners can take advantage of what Apple calls configurable profiles to alter their device’s behavior or functionality.

2021 went off with a bang after Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak tool to support even more firmware versions on a greater subset of iPhones and iPads (specifically the A12 & A13 varieties, running iOS or iPadOS 14.6-14.8). Consequently, those new jailbreakers are playing catch-up and looking for ways to trick out their newly-pwned handset with jailbreak tweaks.
Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar published a comment in the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel Friday evening with some potentially exciting news for jailbreakers.
