Following its announcement earlier in the month that Cortana for iOS would soon launch for a limited number of beta testers, Microsoft has now made good on that promise and started rolling out the beta software, TechCrunch reported this past weekend.
Cortana for iOS looks just like the Windows 10 Mobile and Android equivalents, and works in a very similar way, with a few exceptions stemming from Apple-imposed restrictions on third-party iOS app development.

No new features can be expected with this latest update, but if you're running an iOS 9 jailbreak, you'll be happy to hear that Auxo LE should play nice with your jailbroken iPhone.

Homemade Bread is an iOS 9 jailbreak tweak that makes the Home button breadcrumb-aware. This means that when an app forwards you to another app and there’s a “back to app” button in the upper left-hand corner, then a press of the Home button will go back to the previous app instead of closing the current app. The end result is a tweak that lets you use the Home button to activate iOS 9's new breadcrumb links that appear in the status bar.
Apple's MacBook Air notebook is rumored to receive a thorough redesign next year alongside a brand new fifteen-inch model introduction, according to a report Monday by Economic Daily News.
The thinner, faster machine is thought to be up for an official introduction at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in the summer of 2016.
If true, it will mark the first major facelift of Apple's MacBook Air notebook since its debut eight years ago.
Have you ever wanted to lock the orientation of your iPhone's screen in portrait mode for one app, but lock it in landscape mode for another app? Occasionally, I run into that exact dilemma, and it's alway a little frustrating that I have to micromanage the lock orientation button found in Control Center when switching between the two apps in question.
A new jailbreak tweak is aiming to help eliminate this problem, as it will allow you to lock the orientation of your iPhone's screen on a per-app basis. The tweak, which is appropriately titled EasyAppOrientation, is a free release that lives up to its billing.
Board game fans already know about Days of Wonder's decade-old train ride adventure game. They probably already know that the company published a digital version of it in the App Store a few years ago.
Ticket to Ride recently received an update that brings with it new content for the first time in years. Additionally, the game is now cross-platform compatible with asynchronous multiplayer mode, so you can play multiple games at the same time.
Ryan Petrich has been on a roll as of late when it comes to updates to his most popular jailbreak releases. Not only has Activator received a monster update earlier today, but Display Recorder has received an update that makes it more compatible with iOS 9.
Display Recorder is a popular jailbreak app, because it allows you to capture your iPhone's screen and showcase on screen taps so that viewers of the exported video will know where you're tapping on screen. I've used Display Recorder for many years now, and in my opinion, it remains the best way to directly capture your iPhone's screen on video.

Needless to say, if you have a jailbroken iPhone 6s, then this update is for you.
