Orion is one of the most comprehensive all-in-one jailbreak tweaks we’ve ever seen
When you jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, one of the first things you’re going to want to do is begin customizing some of the things you can’t usually customize out of the box. This can be done with jailbreak tweaks, which are small add-ons that change the behavior or appearance of your device’s operating system.
When you’re getting ready to tweak your device, you ultimately have two options: 1) download a plethora of single-purpose jailbreak tweaks to achieve your ideal setup; or 2) download an all-in-one jailbreak tweak that can do the same in one fell swoop.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: HiddenLock14, IntelligentPass 4, Snooze++, & more…
There sure has been a lot happening recently – with both the Taurine and unc0ver jailbreaks officially supporting all iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 devices and Sileo now available for all modern jailbreaks, users of these tools have a lot to look forward to.
Given just how rapidly things have been developing, we understand that the news and releases can be challenging to follow when you’re life already hands you a full plate. That’s why we’re coming at you this Sunday with an easy-to-digest roundup.
BattiBar colorizes the Status Bar with a slow-changing transitional gradient based on your battery level
The Status Bar of every iPhone and iPad is home to a battery level indicator that keeps the user aware of when they’re going to need a charge. Unfortunately, the indicator tends to be somewhat bland and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that Apple will change that any time soon.
Enter BattiBar, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer HallieHax that offers a solution to the aforementioned quandary. More specifically, it colorizes the entire Status Bar with a transitional gradient color that transforms slowly over time as your handset’s battery discharges with use.
IntelligentPass 4 intelligently disables your handset’s passcode and authentication in low risk environments
Your iPhone or iPad will be its most secure when protected by a passcode or some form of biometric authentication, be it Face ID or Touch ID.
But most would agree that such methods of security aren’t necessary in every environment at all times — such as when you’re alone in your own home.
This tweak prevents YouTube from showing those unsightly recommended video thumbnails at the end of every video
I use YouTube all the time — so much in fact that I decided to join the YouTube Premium bandwagon to take advantage of an ad-free viewing experience and background playback via the iOS app.
But even as a YouTube Premium user, I’m still plagued by YouTube’s uncanny attempt to lure me into the platform’s black hole by way of suggested video thumbnails at the end of every video I watch.
The best cases for the iPad mini
At some point in the future, Apple may adopt a different design for the iPad mini. Something more in line with the iPad Pro and iPad Air. But, that isn't here quite yet.
iOS 13-based Odyssey jailbreak updated to version 1.3.3 to resolve Filza app crashes
If you were following along us this morning, then you would’ve witnessed the Odyssey Team release an update for the iOS & iPadOS 13.0-13.7-based Odyssey jailbreak tool. That update, dubbed version 1.3.2, included a long list of modifications including exploit-centric changes, a fix for CarPlay in Ford-branded vehicles, and various other bug fixes.
But if you were one of many who thought that was going to be it, then you’re in for a surprise. The Odyssey Team has just released a second update this fine Thursday evening, this time bringing the Odyssey jailbreak tool up to version 1.3.3.
Apple Podcasts now uses AI to guess release schedules for shows, no metadata needed

HiddenLock14 requires Face ID authentication to open the Photos app’s “Hidden” album
Most of us have a few photos in our Photo Library that we might want to keep to ourselves, especially in the case of handing our phone to a friend or stranger who might scroll through our Photo Library.
The Photos app includes a dedicated “Hidden” album for instances just like these that can be used to omit certain media from the Photo Library, but unfortunately, it isn’t protected in any way, shape, or form.
Odyssey jailbreak for iOS 13.0-13.7 updated to v1.3.2 with extensive list of changes
While much of the jailbreak hype these days has to do with iOS and iPadOS 14, it’s important to consider that iOS & iPadOS 13 are still considered “modern” in the jailbreak world.
With that in mind, it may come as no surprise to seasoned jailbreakers that the Odyssey Team has released an update for the iOS & iPadOS 13-centric Odyssey jailbreak tool this morning despite spending most of its effort releasing and refining the new iOS & iPadOS 14-centric Taurine jailbreak tool.
