We’ve been telling you about some great new features that came with iPadOS 14 and Scribble that you can use with or without an Apple Pencil. You can copy and paste handwritten notes as typed text and use handwriting in text boxes like search fields. But there’s more!

Bright gradient wallpapers for iPhone

Some of the simplest images make for the most incredible wallpapers. Smooth, transitioning gradient colors are some of my favorite types of wallpapers because they offer a great splash of color, but do not overly complicate your Home screen.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Bakgrunnr, Dove, Puck, and more…

With a new mobile operating system upon us and a recently teased iOS 14-centric security vulnerability, the wait has started to see if and when a new jailbreak tool will be made and released to liberate Apple’s device users from the company’s so-called ‘walled garden.’ That aside, those who are already jailbroken are surely wondering about the best ways to take advantage of their pwned handset, and that’s what this piece will be all about.

All-in-one jailbreak tweaks have become a dime-a-dozen these days as jailbreak tweak developers begin to realize just how much jailbreakers prefer using one tweak that can do everything over using a plethora of smaller tweaks to achieve the same means.

The latest all-in-one jailbreak tweak to hit the shelves is a new and free release called Dove by iOS developer fahlnbg, and it covers a wide variety of iOS elements, including but not limited to the App Switcher, the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, Control Center, and notifications, among other things.

Azad made the shocking announcement Monday afternoon via Twitter, noting that the bittersweet transition to Apple’s side of the security research fence would begin as soon as next week:
