Epic Games has decided to go to war with Apple and Google over their app store practices, and has done so in a very public way which prompted both companies to remove Fortnite from their stores. Meanwhile, Apple could suffer a major burn if the TikTok ban is upheld and the WeChat app gets removed from the store.

These past few weeks have been particularly interesting for the jailbreak community. Whether you’re waiting for a new jailbreak tool to officially drop or you’re following the intense security research aspect of things, it seems like there’s never a dull moment anymore.
In this roundup, we will discuss the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 10th to Sunday, August 16th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Twitter is one of the most powerful social media platforms for reaching large volumes of people, and it’s also one of the best ways to stay informed via your favorite brands, friends, influencers, and special interests. Twitter knows they have one of the best platforms, but for whatever reason they impose silly limitations on users. Fortunately, jailbreakers aren’t confined to such productivity-stifling limitations.
BHTwitter is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer bandarhelal that unlocks a bevy of useful features in the official Twitter app that are normally barred to regular Twitter users. It’s a great way to get the most out of your Twitter user experience without waiting for the developers of the social media platform to wake up and smell the roses in terms of the features that users demand most.
After you log into a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, it will remember that network and connect to it automatically when in range. As you might come to expect, this means your handset keeps a database of previously used Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow users to access this information on their own devices out of the box.
If your iPhone is jailbroken, then you may be excited to learn that there’s a way around this frustrating quandary. A newly released and free jailbreak app dubbed WiFi List by iOS developer Itaybre consolidates all of your previously used Wi-Fi networks, their passwords, and more valuable information about them into one convenient place for future reference.
In this week's edition of our Apps of the Week roundup we have a meal delivery app aggregator, an informative audio app for road trips, and an app for tracking bets between friends. And as always, we've selected two new games for you to check out.
There’s some potentially exciting news for the jailbreak community this weekend after hacker and security researcher @08Tc3wBB teased what appears to be a newfangled approach to exploiting the latest public release of iOS on one of Apple’s current-generation iPhones.
Citing one of @08Tc3wBB’s latest Tweets, it would appear that the hacker successfully pwned an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13.6.1 without using a traditional tfp0-style exploit like those used in the majority of modern jailbreaks like Odyssey and unc0ver:
Not that we condone cheating in any way shape or form, especially when it would involve a reward, but it can sometimes be exciting to prank your friends with rigged coin flips and the likes. With that in mind, we think some pranksters might have a lot of fun with a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SiriCoinControl by iOS developer Wes.
Just as the name implies, SiriCoinControl lets users control the outcome of coin flips performed by the Siri voice assistant on pwned iPhones and iPads. If you don’t have any two-headed coins laying around, then this tweak lets you backpedal on your virtual assistant while still being able to force a heads or tails outcome on demand.
Jailbreakers have a lot of reasons to enjoy using their iPhone, perhaps more than those using unmodified handsets. This very same sentiment pertains to iOS’ music consumption experience, which can be completely augmented with the help of fun and quirky jailbreak tweaks such as a new and free release called Violet by iOS developer Litten.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Violet complements the music consumption experience on the iOS platform by automatically replacing the handset’s existing wallpaper image with that of the album artwork of any Now Playing track. Best of all, this process happens in real time and supports both the Apple Music and Spotify Music apps.
Wireless headphones are becoming the standard, but if you prefer an over-ear design rather than an in-ear one, we've got the list for you.
The "Apple tax" exists. It has been around for a long time now, but that doesn't mean many people out there in the world are fans of it. And, indeed, many of those voices of dissent are starting to get louder.
