How to use Schooltime on Apple Watch to eliminate distractions
These new tweaks bring Apple’s MagSafe charge animation to jailbroken devices
One of the things that makes the brand new and upcoming iPhone 12 & 12 Pro lineup unique is the addition of support for MagSafe accessories. Apple touts MagSafe for iPhone as a larger version of the Apple Watch charger that attaches magnetically to the rear of the handset and charges the device at up to twice the speed of any Qi-enabled wireless charger. As you might come to expect, MagSafe even includes a charging animation unique to itself, as shown above.
It wasn’t long after the introduction of MagSafe that avid jailbreakers began asking whether it’d be possible to have a similar charging animation on their existing pwned devices… and the short answer would be yes. The longer answer is yes, and that a duo of new and free jailbreak tweaks dubbed Lock Screen Battery – MagSafe by Tomasz Poliszuk and MagSafe by iOS developers Ethan Whited and MTAC are already available and make this possible for various devices.
SilentMaps13 makes Apple Maps navigation less intrusive to music playback
It’s fairly common for drivers to listen to music as they cruise around, and with CarPlay and Bluetooth accessories becoming more popular in modern cars, it becomes more and more likely that drivers will stream their music from their smartphone as opposed to the radio. Another thing drivers often use is their handset’s built-in navigation feature, and unfortunately, directions from the Maps app have a tendency to announce directions at all the worst times…
Enter SilentMaps13, a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Greg0109 that helps prevent the Maps app from announcing directions right as the beat of your favorite song drops. The tweak offers user-configurable alternatives to having Siri’s voice interrupt your track, and it’s sure to offer an augmented user experience when used in a navigation-esque setting while listening to music in the car.
