Apple has updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Magic Keyboard and other perks, marking the end of the line for butterfly keyboards and streamlining its notebook offering. We've also learned when the virtual WWDC 2020 will take place, analyzed Apple earnings, covered fresh new jaiblreak tweaks, reviewed some accessories and wrote up a bunch of new tutorials for you to learn something new while you're in lockdown.
The high end iPhone flagship devices come packed with a fantastically bright, and dark, colorful OLED panel. These panels are maximized for extreme color and complete blacks to sit right next to each other.
Because the pixels are individually illuminated, you can have 100% brightness next to a completely off pixel for incredible inky blacks. These "Fold" style wallpapers take advantage of both that color pop and complete true black canvas.
Whether you jailbreak to make your iOS handset look cooler, or you do it to add new features that Apple won’t provide out of the box, there’s no reason you can’t use a pick-me-up.
This roundup will showcase all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, May 4th to Sunday, May 10th. 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.
Apple’s Safari web browser is perhaps one of the best ways to explore the internet on your iPhone or iPad, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. In fact, we can think of a number of ways that it could be improved, such as importing many of the iPad’s web browsing features to the smaller iPhone.
But whether you’re looking for functionality upgrades or the ability to theme your Safari web browser from top to bottom, we’ve got a gut feeling that a newly released jailbreak tweak called Safari Electro 2 by iOS developer Minazuki could be right up your alley.
Apple designed iOS to display a Now Playing widget on your Lock screen whenever you listen to music. Its sole purpose is to make your music controls easier to access in a pinch, but some might argue that Apple make it a bit more complicated than it needed to be, especially if you don’t need all the added bells and whistles of AirPlay, progress bars, and volume scrubbers.
If you align yourself with the aforementioned group of people who find the Now Playing widget just slightly overdone, then you’ll probably enjoy the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Vinyl by iOS developer Lightmann, as it takes a more simplistic approach to providing you with music controls on your Lock screen.
Welcome to Accessory Spotlight, a weekly column where we highlight an accessory that we find to be incredibly useful, a fantastic value, or both. This week we’ve selected Logitech’s MX Master 3 wireless mouse. This one was super easy—the Master 3 is widely believed to be one of the best all-around mice available thanks to its comfortable shape, ultra fast and smooth scrolling, and its ability to seamlessly switch between devices.
In this week's edition of our Apps of the Week roundup we have an app that tells you when new content is added to Netflix, a subtle time manager, and an AI-run digital workout buddy. And as always, we've selected two great games for you to check out.
There’ve been literally so many different jailbreak tweaks made available for customizing the iOS power down menu that we can hardly even keep count of them all anymore. That aside, we still like to showcase those that we think look promising, and a new release called Omega by iOS developer JakeSnake certainly appears to fit the bill.
In the screenshot examples above, you’ll notice that Omega provides users with several different power down interfaces to choose from. Furthermore, if the basic iOS power down menu just doesn’t cut it for you, especially since jailbreakers hardly ever turn their device(s) off, then perhaps you’ll enjoy the tweak’s suite of alternative booting controls instead.
The majority of people seem to respond positively to audio visualizers, and while it’s a shame that Apple doesn’t provide one for iOS out of the box, jailbreak tweaks like Mitsuha Infinity (or the newer Mitsuha Forever) can bring this feature to pwned handsets that are no longer under the tech giant’s sole control.
But say you don’t like Mitsuha’s Siri-like waveform visualizer; what other options do you have? We’re glad you asked, because a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Circuliser by iOS developer squ1dd13 offers a circular audio visualizer alternative that some users may find a bit more aesthetically pleasing.
