The iPad is one of the most versatile devices. You can use it to study, to get some work done or to binge-watch The Boys. It's a great tool, no matter how you use it. Using your iPad is easy, the hard part is choosing one. It's 2019 and we have 4 iPad models to choose from.

But this brings the question: which iPad is the best for you? Well, the answer really depends on what you're going to use it for. Let's face it, you don't really need an iPad Pro with 1 TB of storage if you're just going to watch Netflix and check Twitter.

So this brings us to today's topic: choosing the best iPad for you. Hopefully, after this, you'll know which one to buy. Maybe it's not the one you wanted, but it may just be the one you needed.

Metronome

The Metronome in GarageBand offers a steady beat that helps you keep time when you’re recording or just listening to your song. The feature also uses a one-measure Count-in so that you can get ready when you’re recording a song, just like you hear live bands do when performing.

You can turn the Metronome and Count-in on and off as well as adjust the Count-in bars on both Mac and iOS, and this tutorial shows you how.

AOD brings an Android-style always-on-display to jailbroken iPhones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated April 4, 2022

One of the cool things that several Android handsets have that the iPhone doesn’t is an always-on-display, which, for those who don’t know, continuously displays information on the Lock screen of OLED display-equipped handsets without ever shutting off, such as the time and any missed notifications. Fortunately for jailbreakers, this is no longer an Android-only feature.

With the help of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed AOD by iOS developer Soh Satoh, you can enjoy a true always-on-display experience on jailbroken devices running iOS 12, and while it works best on handsets equipped with OLED displays, it should work with LCD displays too.

CoolStar teases Chimera compatibility for A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.4

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 27, 2019

If you’re on iOS 12, then there are two primary jailbreaks you can choose from: Chimera by the Electra Team or unc0ver by Pwn20wnd. Both jailbreaks are neck-and-neck with device and software compatibility, but since iOS 12.4 first became jailbroken, both parties have been hard at work to implement support for A12(X) devices.

The unc0ver jailbreak only “partially” supports A12(X) devices at the time of this writing, and full support is coming sometime in the near future, including those running iOS 12.4. Chimera, on the other hand, has lacked A12(X) support on iOS 12.1.3-12.3 (beta) and 12.4 since v1.3.0 first launched, and still lacks it to this day.

Pwn20wnd launches dedicated website for the unc0ver jailbreak

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated May 27, 2020

If you’ve ever used Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool to liberate a device running iOS 11 or iOS 12, then you’re probably familiar with the process of visiting the hacker’s GitHub page to find and download the latest iteration of the tool. But that’s all changing as of today, and in a very good way.

In a rather exciting turn of events, Pwn20wnd launched a brand-new website on Tuesday dubbed unc0ver.dev to host the unc0ver jailbreak tool. Pwn20wnd announced the launch of the website via Twitter just this afternoon, noting that the current and all future releases will be published there:

Last chance to downgrade to iOS 12.4 for jailbreak eligibility

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 26, 2019

It was only within the past couple of weeks that Pwn20wnd and the Electra Team updated the unc0ver and Chimera jailbreak tools with support for iOS 12.4 by way of an updated Sock Puppet exploit, and while it was the first time in a long while that the latest version of iOS could be jailbroken, all fun things must, unfortunately, come to an end…

Apple released iOS 12.4.1 to the general public on Monday with bug fixes and security enhancements, one of which tended to the updated Sock Puppet exploit that Apple initially patched in iOS 12.3 and then inadvertently un-patched again in iOS 12.4.
