Meteorite gets iOS 13 support, adds live weather to the Status Bar & Weather icon
We’ve seen a lot of jailbreak tweaks over the years that could animate the Home screen’s Weather icon with the current weather information outside. But with the jailbreak community taking a hard shift toward iOS 13 in recent months, modern necessities call for modern solutions.
Meteorite is a free extension created by iOS developer qwertyuiop1379 that has been out for quite a while, but just recently picked up support for iOS 13. Like other tweaks in the past, Meteorite animates the Weather app icon with current weather conditions, but it also adds a new display to the Status Bar.
Editor’s Desk: Everything about the new iPhone SE, plus fresh wall packs, tutorials and more
The Apple commentariat was surprised seeing the affordable new iPhone SE (or should I say the iPhone 8s?) launched via a press release this week. We also tracked tech-focused information on the coronavirus pandemic, pushed two fresh wallpaper packs to adorn your devices, released how-tos for learning something new while staying at home, as well as rounded up top new apps, games, books and jailbreak tweaks to check out during lockdown.
Security researcher achieves tfp0 exploit on A13 device running iOS 13.4.1
Jailbreakers with access to an A7-A11 device pretty much have it made thanks to the hardware exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak that can’t be patched by Apple in a software update. Those handling newer devices, such as the A12 and A13 varieties, instead depend on infrequently released tfp0 exploits. These seem to surface sporadically with no rhyme or reason, and they can unfortunately be patched by Apple’s software updates.
On a more positive note, it does appear that a skilled security researcher going by the Twitter handle @ProteasWang has achieved tfp0 on an A13-equipped handset running iOS 13.4.1. This is currently the latest version of iOS available from Apple, and with that in mind, the news has particularly exciting implications for jailbreaks such as unc0ver and the to-be-released Chimera13 tool.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Ainsworth, DynaWall Lite, Nougat, Veza, and more…
Most people are getting accustomed to staying at home as much as possible due to COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean we may not get bored once in a while. Fortunately, customizing your jailbroken handset is always a fun pastime that can help make staying at home more fun.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, April 13th to Sunday, April 19th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Ainsworth upgrades iOS’ pairing interface for all your favorite accessories
If you’ve ever paired a set of AirPods or Beats-branded headphones with your iPhone before, then you should be vividly familiar with the unique Bluetooth pairing experience that you’re presented with when you bring these devices close to your iPhone for the first time. Apple describes the experience as magical, and that’s no lie.
But if you’re pairing any other brand of device with your iPhone, be it a pair of headphones or perhaps a speaker for that matter, you’ll find that the pairing experience isn’t quite as magical. Apple does this on purpose to make its products stand out, but if you want a similar pairing experience for your third-party accessories, then you can take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Ainsworth by iOS developer Dave van Wijk to do just that.
This tweak lets you clear an app’s cache right from the Home screen
More than five years ago, iOS developer Ryan Petrich released a handy cache-clearing jailbreak tweak for apps on jailbroken iPhones and iPads called CacheClearer, which allows users to delete app caches right from iOS’ native Storage settings page. That same tweak was re-created for iOS 11 last year with the aid of developer Julio Verne, and has now been reincarnated once more for newer versions of iOS by developer alex_png.
