Sphere brings a Chat Heads-inspired multitasking UI to jailbroken iPhones

Apple makes it a breeze to switch from one recently-used app to another on your iPhone, but one area where this particular platform has always left a lot to be desired is the multitasking department.

Summon a floating web browser from anywhere in iOS with Megane

Any time you feel like browsing the web, it’s essentially as easy as launching the Safari app and beginning a web search or asking Siri to search the web for you. But if even these two methods are too much effort for you, or you’d rather stay in the app interface you’re already in instead of closing that app to visit Safari, then we might have just the right solution for you.

Enter Megane, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer sugiuta that allows users to summon a floating web search interface like the one shown in the screenshot example above from just about anywhere in iOS with a gesture of their choosing.

“One more thing” event wallpapers

Today, Apple sent out media invitations to an upcoming event on November 10. The invitation's tagline reads "One more thing," paving the way for rumors to fill the "what thing?" gap. Typically, Apple has held the "one more thing" phrase for only impressive new hardware devices that become leaders in their respective category.

In an earlier 2020 event, Apple promised to launch all new Mac hardware with Apple developed silicon processors by year end. It is expected these devices make an appearance. Speaking of appearances, every time a new invitation is sent, brand new wallpapers come to the iDB Wallpapers of the Week gallery. Spice up your iPhone, iPad, desktop, and ultra wide monitors.

Video: Samsung messes with an important element of Steve Jobs’ legacy

First its social media department had fun mocking Tim Cook & Co. over the removal of a power adapter from the iPhone boxes (you can bet they'll do precisely the same thing with the upcoming Galaxy S21), and now the South Korean conglomerate is messing with an important element of Steve Jobs’ legacy with its city light advertisements for the Galaxy Fold Z foldable smartphone with 5G.
