Apple has been underscoring, repeatedly and for more than a year now, that it wants to help customers cure their smartphone addiction which it has played a major part creating in the first place.

RotaryPass brings a rotary-style passcode entry interface to iOS
For years, the iPhone’s passcode interface has appeared as a traditional number pad. But if you’re looking for something a bit more exotic that will help your handset stand out from the crowd, then you just might come to appreciate a newly-released jailbreak tweak called RotaryPass by Geometric Software.
As you can discern for yourself in the screenshot examples above, RotaryPass brings an entirely new passcode entry interface to your iPhone – more specifically, one that’s based on those antiquated rotary-style telephones that were commonplace before the 21stcentury.

A number of Bluetooth headsets that I’ve used for phone calls in the past already supported Status Bar-centric battery level displays, but not all. A newly-released free jailbreak tweak called BTPower by iOS developer Karimo299 ensures that all your Bluetooth headsets exhibit this behavior for simplified battery level tracking.
