iPad Features XII ports some of the iPad’s best UI differences to the iPhone

Anthony Bouchard ∙ March 19, 2019

iOS powers both Apple’s iPhone and iPad platforms; however, each handset exhibits unique software-centric features that have been tailored to the devices’ particular hardware specifications.

Anyone that has used both devices knows exactly what we mean – subtle differences in interfaces such as the App Switcher, Camera app, Dock, and Status Bar are evident right off the bat. But with a new free jailbreak tweak called iPad Features XII by iOS developer Adel Hammoud, you can port many of those differences over to your iPhone.

ShutterDepthControl brings depth control to unsupported dual-lensed iPhones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ March 11, 2019

It was just a couple of weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Aperturize, which unlocked a variety of different bokeh features on unsupported devices – both before and after snapping the picture. But for those on a budget, a new free release called ShutterDepthControl by iOS developer Jbrownllama just might suffice.

ShutterDepthControl isn’t as full-featured as Aperturize was, but it can still enable depth control on most unsupported dual-lensed devices such as the iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, and X. For reference, Apple only officially supports native depth control on the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.

This tweak makes iOS display the times when trimming video clips in the Photos app

After recording a video with your iPhone or iPad, you can then visit the Photos app to view your freshly-recorded footage. But perhaps more importantly, you can edit that footage with a handful of native tools.

One of my favorite video-editing features in iOS is the ability to trim your footage to a custom length; on the other hand, iOS doesn’t show the times at the start and end of your trim like macOS does. The circumstances are frustrating to amateur video editors, and that’s why iOS developer Kane Buckthorpe has created a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Trim Times.

Aperturize brings bokeh adjustment to Portrait photos on unsupported handsets

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 26, 2019

Amplified by incredible software capabilities, the iPhone has always been an astonishing point-and-shoot camera for on-the-go amateur photographers, but modern iPhones like the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max augment those features with powerful new camera systems that support adjustable bokeh via Portrait photography mode.

Unfortunately, not all dual-lens Apple handsets support adjustable bokeh like the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max; but, iOS developer foxfortmobile has just released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Aperturize that brings this useful photography feature to what would otherwise be considered “unsupported” handsets.
