Lynx merges the functions of several iOS 13 jailbreak tweaks into one

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated January 30, 2022

It almost seems like there’s been a distinguishable influx of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks lately, and each new release we cover seems to be outdone by something new just a few weeks later. The famous Springtomize tweak once enjoyed its title as the king of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks, but all the competition lately is giving it a serious run for its money.

All-in-one tweaks are popular because they offer a plethora of benefits for one flat cost as opposed to downloading (and perhaps even purchasing) several one-off tweaks to accomplish the same outcome. Fortunately, a new release dubbed Lynx by iOS developer MTAC offers a wide selection of useful options, and we’d strongly recommend checking it out.

This tweak gives your iPhone a snazzy new Status Bar battery indicator

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 16, 2020

There’s nothing particularly wrong with iOS’ native battery level indicator, but starting with Apple’s trendy notched handsets, the icon itself doesn’t display a numeric battery percentage anymore. Fortunately for those looking to change that, you can now download a new, free jailbreak tweak called half by iOS developers Soongyu Kwon and Ayden Leppert.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 15, 2020

It was only a couple of weeks ago that the Zebra package manager came out of beta to become publicly available to jailbreakers who wanted to a modern alternative to Cydia, but as of today, Zebra isn’t the only option.

Why Apple’s position matters on strong iPhone encryption

Peter Cohen ∙ January 15, 2020

Apple popped up in the news this week after both U.S. Attorney General William Barr and President Trump publicly called for the company to help unlock iPhones used by the Saudi Air Force cadet accused of perpetrating a terror attack on a U.S. Navy base in Pensacola, FL in December.
