In this week's edition of our Apps of the Week roundup we have a screen-casting utility, a clip-oriented podcast client, and a clever alarm clock. And as always, we've selected two great games for you to check out.
If you’re using a Face ID-enabled handset without a passcode, which might very well be the case if you’re using the checkra1n jailbreak on the iPhone X with iOS 14, then you may notice how interacting with notifications from the Lock Screen takes more effort than it needs to.
More specifically, if you don’t have a passcode, then tapping on a notification banner from the Lock Screen reveals an Open button that must be tapped before you’re brought to the app’s interface to interact with the missed notification.
Jailbreak loyalists have unquestionably heard about the brand new cicuta_verosa kernel exploit for all devices capable of running iOS & iPadOS 14.3 and below, and for what it’s worth, this is excellent news for the jailbreak community.
Given that most recent jailbreak developments have been either for that of iOS 12 or iOS & iPadOS 13-centric jailbreaks such as Chimera and Odyssey, or for the hardware-limited checkra1n jailbreak that only supports A7-A11 devices up to iOS & iPadOS 14, the announcement of this exploit’s release harbored much-needed positivity in the midst of what could only be described as a lengthy lull for jailbreak hobbyists.
The Apple Watch is the definitive leader when it comes to smartwatches. And while Google, and many others, have tried to dethrone Apple, that hasn't happened yet. So what if Facebook gave it a shot?
We get it, not everyone needs/wants a $30+ case on their phone. That's why we put together this roundup. Here are some of the best cheap cases for iPhone 12 (and iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max).

The AirTags, the Tile-like tracking device Apple has been working on for quite some time, are still not official. But the rumor mill refuses to give up on them. And now we have yet another launch window to look ahead to.
Activation Lock is meant to be one of the most important security elements on an iOS device. But, like all security-related things, sometimes it can get in the way. But Apple is launching a new self-serve portal to help.
The open-source VLC media player debuted back in 2001, with its Mac port causing the first real usage spike. The team is now readying a major visual overhaul as they consider a Plex-like commercial business model for the popular, feature-rich cross-platform media player.
If you've been following our recent jailbreak coverage you'll know that there is now a jailbreak available for iOS and iPadOS 14, released by the unc0ver team. Another tool is also on the horizon, being worked on by CoolStar. However, the exploit which it uses will only work on iOS and iPadOS 14.0-14.3, not the current 14.4, nor Apple's upcoming firmware, 14.5.
The problem for would-be jailbreakers had been that iOS and iPadOS 14.0-14.3 are no longer signed by Apple, which means users could no longer move to those firmwares through traditional methods. It therefore looked like anyone who wasn't already on iOS or iPadOS 14.0-14.3 was going to miss out on the first semi-untethered iOS 14 jailbreak.
The fact that Apple doesn't manually verify the validity of developer-provided privacy label information has prompted Washington politicians to pen an open letter to CEO boss Tim Cook.
