In this day and age of self-isolation amid coronavirus lockdowns, I've been having lots of issues with my broadband Internet connection (as have a lot of other people) now that many of us are working from home. Network congestion interferes with my work, so when this crisis began escalating I figured I should try using my iPhone's cellular network instead.
A software issue in the recently released iOS 13.4 and macOS Catalina 10.15.4 updates is preventing FaceTime audio and video calls with older devices, according to numerous reports.
Apple officially stopped signing iOS and iPadOS 13.3.1 Tuesday evening, just one week after releasing iOS and iPadOS 13.4 to the general public as an over-the-air software update.
The closing of the signing window means those who’ve upgraded to the newer 13.4 firmware will be unable to downgrade to 13.3.1. This isn’t a big deal for most iPhone or iPad users, but it’s something that can be particularly unsettling for the jailbreak community as software updates frequently patch jailbreak-centric software exploits.
Earlier today, Apple seeded the first developer beta of iOS 13.4.5, which is starting to reveal a few of its secrets.
Sharing content to Instagram Stories is a growing feature for third-party apps and services. Like Netflix, for instance. And now we can add Apple Music to the list as well.
Apple launched iOS 13.4 to the public not too long ago, along with other major updates to its operating systems, but now the beta seed process is back up and running.
According to a new report, Apple may release a small iOS 13.4.1 update later this week to squish a nasty bug on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that has caused data and IP addresses in virtual private networks (VPN) to be exposed.
Jailbreakers who are in search of fun and unique ways to make their iPhone’s Lock screen experience stand apart from the crowd will almost certainly want to check out a free jailbreak tweak called FingerLock by iOS developer MTAC.
This tweak puts an aesthetically-pleasing fingerprint-shaped software button on the Lock screen that you can tap to unlock your device rather than pressing the Home button or swiping up on the Home Bar, as shown above. Best of all, this snazzy button is fully-customizable.
Longtime Pokémon game fans, especially of the classic Nintendo Game Boy flavor, may feel a bit nostalgic of the older games at times. Fortunately, if you’re itching for some nostalgic relief and you have a jailbroken iOS device at your disposal, then a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed PokeBar by iOS developer Liberato Aguilar might be able to help.
In the rather conspicuous screenshots above and below, you might’ve ascertained already that PokeBar brings Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow-inspired notification banners to pwned iOS 13 handsets. Moreover, it supports both dark and light themes, depending on your device’s dark mode system settings.
If you’re anything like me, then you like haptic feedback on your iPhone and wish Apple would implement it more broadly across the mobile operating system. While this could certainly happen in the near future as Apple ponders about how it can make iOS better, jailbreakers won’t need to wait thanks to the plethora of readily available jailbreak tweaks that can already bring haptic feedback to miscellaneous interfaces in iOS.
Clockator is a newly released and free extension by iOS developer CydiaGeek that fits this niche subset of add-ons, and as its name suggests, Clockator introduces haptic feedback to Apple’s native Clock app in various ways.
If you’re going stir-crazy while coping with the thought of staying home amid Coronavirus-related social distancing efforts, then the good news is you can use your newfound free time to tinker with your jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
In this roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, March 23rd to Sunday, March, 29th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
If your iPhone’s battery level ever ventures into the danger zone, then Apple has graciously provided you with a Low Power Mode option that you can toggle in a pinch to take full advantage of every last precious drop of juice you have left. But for whatever reason, this same toggle isn’t available on iPads or iPod touches – what a shame!
While it remains to be seen if Apple will ever bring Low Power Mode to the iPad or iPod touch platforms, the good news is that jailbreakers won’t have to wait. A newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed LPMPad by iOS developer iCraze ports Low Power Mode to these devices in such a way that it feels just as native as it would on the iPhone.
