The Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak tool officially picked up support for iOS 12.4 within just the last couple of hours, but the team continues to work hard to refine the tool for optimal performance and stability. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the iOS 12-centric jailbreak tool just received another update.
Chimera v1.2.9 was announced via the Electra Team’s official Twitter page just minutes ago:
The Electra Team released Chimera v1.2.8 to the general public Sunday evening with support for iOS 12.4 on A9-A11 devices with iOS 12.4 installed, a move that closely mirrors one made by Pwn20wnd with the unc0ver jailbreak tool Sunday morning.
The Electra Team announced the update just minutes ago via Twitter:
We are quickly approaching the GM release of iOS 13, which will be coordinated with the launch of new iPhone hardware on September 10. The stock wallpapers on the new os are inspiring online artists to create their own wallpapers based on the same imagery. In today's Wallpapers of the Week addition, the following downloads are within the iOS 13 wallpaper genre and offer bolder color choices than the ones we see in the stock release.
In an unforeseen turn of events, hacker Pwn20wnd released v3.5.0 of the unc0ver jailbreak tool to the general public Sunday morning with official support for iOS 12.4, the latest available firmware release from Apple with support for Apple Card.
Update: iOS 12.4.1 is now available as of Monday, August 26th, and this update patches the exploit for iOS 12.4
Pwn20wnd announced the update just a few minutes ago via Twitter:
If you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for new ways to trick out your pwned handset, then you’ve come to the right place.
This roundup will discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 12th to Sunday, August 18th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with the rest afterward.
The rumor mill was silent when it came to a new Apple Watch up until very recently, and now it's certainly starting to look like we could get a Series 5 announcement later this year -- with two new case options for good measure.
It has been several months since Apple announced its subscription game service, Apple Arcade. And now, ahead of its fall launch to the public, the company has welcomed an early access program.
In this edition of our Apps of the Week roundup, we have apps aimed at helping you achieve your goals and deal with anxiety, and a website blocker to help keep you on task. And as always, we've selected two great new games for you to check out.
The App Switcher experience isn’t all bad on the iOS platform, but if you’re anything like me, then you can appreciate tiny modifications that help bring an interface to life with a modern look and feel.
If you’re in the same boat, then you will probably enjoy using a new and free jailbreak tweak called ModernSwitcher by iOS developer MTAC, as it makes a few minor visual improvements to the current App Switcher interface to make it look nicer overall.
One of the most important things you can ever monitor on your iPhone or iPad at any given time is its battery level, and if you agree with this sentiment, then you’ll probably take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called Glance by iOS developer KushyDaBush.
As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, Glance brings a battery-centric makeover to your iOS device’s Lock screen, offering a continuous display of your handset’s current battery level right underneath its date and time display.
Spotify has what I’ve come to appreciate as one of the nicest music players available for the iOS platform today, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things I’d do to make it even better. In fact, when I learned about the release of a new jailbreak tweak called SpinThatRecord by iOS developer Menuskha, I was immediately intrigued.
Just as the name implies, SpinThatRecord modifies the Spotify Music app’s native music player such that the album artwork appears as a spinning record rather than a standstill square image. You’ll notice in the screenshot examples above that the album artwork is now shaped like a vinyl record, and below, you’ll find an animated GIF that showcases how the tweak looks as the album rotates:
Dark mode has become such a popular concept that Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 software update will incorporate it out of the box, but jailbreakers have already had access to dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks for what feels like several years now. Still, it isn’t uncommon for developers to release new dark mode-oriented jailbreak tweaks with improved feature sets or performance.
Carbon Dark Mode by iOS developer OxideLabs is one such release, and according to the developer, it’s up to 3.5 times more memory efficient than ‘other’ dark mode jailbreak tweaks on the market today.
