iBSparkes teases Cydia running on the iOS 12.4 beta
Each of the latest jailbreak solutions, be it the Electra Team’s Chimera tool or Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool, only support iOS versions 12.0-12.1.2. That said, a teaser shared just this morning by talented security researcher iBSparkes tends to be particularly exciting.
In the Tweet, iBSparkes shares a screenshot of what appears to be the all-too-familiar Cydia package manager running on an iPhone SE (iPhone 8,4) with the iOS 12.4 beta installed:
Apple’s website says the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are launching in September [Updated]
Apple announced quite a few things at this year's WWDC keynote, which included a brand new, modular Mac Pro. At the time, Apple would only give those interested in the powerful desktop machine a "fall" launch date. But now Apple's website may have narrowed things down a bit.

Axon offers a ‘Priority Hub’ experience on jailbroken iOS 11-15 handsets
First released back in 2014, Priority Hub was perhaps one of the most popular notification-centric jailbreak tweaks of all time. It ported BlackBerry 10’s grouped notifications feature to the iOS Lock screen, allowing users to filter missed notifications on a per-app basis.
As time went on, developers have re-made Priority Hub for newer iterations of iOS, and now that both iOS 11 and 12 are jailbreakable, it only seems just that a proper remake should be released for those firmware versions. With that in mind, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak release called Axon by iOS developer Nepeta.
Customize the text at the bottom of your Lock screen with this new tweak
At the bottom of your iOS device’s Lock screen is a subtle blurb of text that tells you what you should do to unlock your device. On a Face ID-equipped handset, it might say “Swipe up to unlock,” while Home Button-equipped handsets might show “Press home to unlock” instead.
If you’re jailbroken and you’re interested in customizing this text, then you’re in luck because iOS developer Dave van Wijk has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called LSTextChanger that lets you do just that.
Electra Team releases Chimera v1.0.8 to fix a Sileo icon disappearance bug
The Electra Team published a surprise update for their iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak Sunday evening, officially bringing the tool up to version 1.0.8.
The announcement, shared just a few minutes ago via the Electra Team’s official Twitter account, denotes what appears to be a bug fix update that resolves a problem where the Sileo package manager’s app icon would disappear from the Home screen after jailbreaking with Chimera version 1.0.7:
Mac Pro-inspired wallpaper pack
At the WWDC media event, Apple announced the brand new Mac Pro desktop computer. After years of work, the design team came up with a tower that optimizes cooling for optimal performance. In an attempt to provide both a visually appealing and intentionally useful design, the front and back of the tower are littered with small circular openings. Drawing inspiration from this design, today's Wallpapers of the Week collection includes images for iPhone and desktop.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Magma Pro, Nanobanners, QuickPrefs, and more
Whether you're taking advantage of the A12(X)-supported Chimera jailbreak by the Electra Team, or the newly-redesigned unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd, chances are you're itching for something new that'll make your jailbroken handset look better than all the rest out there. Fortunately, we're here to help with that.
This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, June 3rd to Sunday, June 9th. As usual, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite from the bunch first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
This tweak necessitates Face ID authentication to access the Photos app’s Hidden album
You can hide sensitive images from your Photos app’s Camera Roll by moving them to the app’s Hidden album, but it doesn’t take much for someone with access to your handset to find the Hidden album and start perusing through the images it contains.
With this caveat in mind, iOS developer Menuska has released a new free jailbreak tweak called FaceID for Hidden Photos that adds a biometric authentication requirement to the Photos app’s Hidden album. With it, you’ll need to pass a Face ID authentication test to access the Hidden album’s contents, as shown in the screenshot example below:
Addsource makes adding repositories to Cydia easier
Handsets jailbroken with Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool will have Cydia installed as the default package manager, and with a newly-released free jailbreak tweak dubbed addsource by iOS developers yuosaf01 and 3bod_syr, you can augment the app’s native repository-adding functionality.
With any typical Cydia installation, users will need to enter a repository’s URL manually by tapping on the ‘Add’ button in the app’s Sources tab. This method works, but it tends to be cumbersome and exposes users to an increased likelihood of human error while typing the designated repository URL.
Thirteen features iOS 13 and iPadOS ‘borrowed’ from the jailbreak community
At WWDC 2019, Apple introduced both iOS 13 and iPadOS, each of which sim to significantly augment the features available on Apple’s mobile device lineup. But like most annual upgrades to iOS, it’s clear that Apple received inspiration for new features from the jailbreak community, which continues to tweak Apple’s mobile operating system to this very day.
In this piece, we’ll discuss thirteen new features from Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS mobile operating systems that the jailbreak community had first.
