SqueakTime lets you use Apple Watch faces on your iPhone’s Lock screen
While perusing the Changes tab in the Cydia Store this week, we happened upon a brand-new jailbreak tweak dubbed SqueakTime by iOS developer Andy Wiik. With it, you can replace the Lock screen’s native time indicator with official Apple Watch faces.
After you’ve installed SqueakTime, you’ll take notice of a new “Use on Lockscreen” button that appears next to every Apple Watch face preview in the native Watch app:
Relocate the Lock screen’s date and time indicator with mcClock11
Right out of the box, your iPhone centers the date and time near the top of the Lock screen interface. But if you’ve ever wanted to move the date and time indicator around to different positions on the Lock screen, then you’re in luck.
A new free jailbreak tweak called mvClock11 by iOS developer Soh lets you relocate the Lock screen’s date and time indicator anywhere you’d like.
Unc0ver RC8 released with refined code, fix for snapshot errors, and more
It was just yesterday that iOS hacker Pwn20wnd released unc0ver RC7 with essential bug fixes and improvements encompassing the RootFS Restore on iOS 11.2-11.2.6 and the MP exploit clean-up method, but as of Thursday afternoon, he’s at it again.
Pwn20wnd has just released unc0ver RC8 with a slew of other critical bug fixes and improvements, and all users are advised to download and run the latest version when they can.
The best wallet cases for iPhone XR
If you're looking for a new case to go with your new iPhone XR, consider a wallet case. Not only do they offer protection for your handset, but they can also store IDs, credit cards and cash, allowing you to leave your actual wallet behind. Here are, what we believe to be, the best wallet cases for iPhone XR.

Apple wants to improve power transfer systems used in electric vehicles
A recently published patent application suggests Apple is hard at work on developing high-voltage battery power converters for electronic cars. The U.S. patent for “Converter Architecture” explains how power from a high voltage source could be transferred downward to a lower voltage.
As AppleInsider explains, electric and hybrid cars are usually powered by a high voltage battery, which is mostly used to get the vehicle moving. The same energy sources are then used to fuel other parts of the automobile, such as the infotainment display, dashboard, and air conditioning system.
Unfortunately, Apple believes current systems that convert high voltage power to a lower voltage are “inefficient and suffer from load transients that are absorbed by and may cause damage to a low voltage battery.”
The company's solution:
In one implementation, an unregulated DC-to-DC converter is electrically connected to a first energy source to down convert a first voltage supplied by the first energy source. A load is electrically connected to the unregulated DC-to-DC converter to receive the down converted first voltage. A regulated DC-to-DC converter is electrically connected to the unregulated DC-to-DC converter to regulate the down converted first voltage to a second voltage. A second power source is electrically connected to the regulated DC-to-DC converter to charge the second power source using the second voltage, and the second power source is switchably connectable to the load.
Improving battery efficiency for electric and hybrid cars is a worthwhile goal, especially as these type of vehicles become more popular. What's not yet known, however, is whether this patent has to do with the company's secretive Project Titan and how.
