In this week's episode of our Apps of the Week roundup we have a delightful little gaming companion, a low-effort todo list, and a digital DIY life coach. And as always, we've selected two great games for you to check out.
Anyone who uses their iPhone’s native alarm feature to wake up each morning probably understands the struggle of trying to turn the obnoxious noise off when it begins firing. On the other hand, you might only be half-awake when you attempt to do so, resulting in repeated blind taps on your nightstand only to find that you continuously miss the correct button to stop the alarm.
BigSnooze is a new jailbreak tweak developed by Cole Cabral that tries to remedy this problem by making the snooze and stop buttons easier to tap when you’re on the cusp of awake and incoherent while the alarm fires at the crack of dawn. The result? No more tapping around and missing the desired button with your finger when you’re groggy.
The past few weeks have been crazy for anyone heavily invested in the jailbreak community. Not only was the checkra1n jailbreak updated to add support for A10(X) devices and iOS 14.1-14.2, but a new exploit PoC targeting iOS & iPadOS 13.x was released and FreeTheSandbox once again affirmed that a jailbreak with support for iOS & iPadOS 13.5-13.7 would be released in the near future without a definitive ETA.
But the community was in for yet another teaser this week after talented security researcher Liang Chen (@chenliang0817) of Singular Security Lab (@SingularSecLab) demonstrated a working jailbreak on Apple’s brand-new iPhone 12 Pro handset running iOS 14.2 — the latest publicly available firmware at the time of this writing:
Fantastical is one of the most popular productivity apps out there, and it's just received one of its biggest updates to date.
For the past several years, flagship iPhones have become ever so slightly larger and heavier. A few grams here, a millimeter there… It’s barely noticeable from one model to the next one, but over the years, it adds up.
As much as I love using the best iPhone money can buy, this year was an inflection point. The slightly bigger and slightly heavier iPhone 12 Pro was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. This was of course accelerated by the fact that for the first time, Apple released a mini version of a flagship device.
While I have nothing against the iPhone 12 Pro per say, the fact that I could get an almost similarly-spec’ed iPhone but one that is significantly smaller and lighter was very appealing. Hence my move to the iPhone 12 mini!
In addition to releasing the trailer for the second season of “Servant,” an Apple TV+ horror thriller, the iPhone maker today shared a trailer for “Stillwater,” its upcoming kid-friendly show.
