Pwn20wnd began preparing 4K device support for the iOS 12-centric unc0ver jailbreak tool over the weekend, and while the bulk of that support seems to be complete, a few quirks stil remain.
With that in mind, Pwn20wnd has revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release Wednesday afternoon to beta version 37 with at least “partial” support for 4K devices:
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.
Most people use passcodes to protect their handsets from unwanted users for privacy reasons. Although modern handsets incorporate some form of biometric authentication in place of the passcode, whether that’s Face ID or Touch ID, your device still uses a passcode as a backup for when either of those stops working.
But while your passcode can keep your handset’s data safe in high-risk areas, it’s also true that some places (such as your home) pose little or no risk. That’s why iOS developers Luke Muris and Geometric Software released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed IntelligentPass 2.
Tesla Motors has a nice side business selling accessories like apparel, chargers, travel bags, gloves, purses and—why not?—iPhone cases. They have a range of cases for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X and iPhone XS, and today we're going hands-on with their iPhone X/XS case.
The Cydia app’s homepage might be a familiar sight for most jailbreakers, but many would agree that it’s largely outdated. Furthermore, most of the time you spend in Cydia takes place in other tabs, such as Sources, Changes, Installed, and Search.
iOS developer KushyDaBush wanted to make the Cydia homepage useful again, and so a new free jailbreak tweak called Libellus was conceived. As demonstrated in the screenshot examples above, Libellus replaces the stock Cydia homepage with an overview of jailbreak-centric news.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release again on Tuesday with a bevy of refinements. The latest version of the unc0ver v3.0.0 jailbreak tool is now beta number 36.
Pwn20wnd broke the news about the new beta via Twitter just this afternoon, adding that it would greatly improve the reliability of the iOS 12 jailbreak:
According to fresh figures that were published on Apple's App Store dashboard for developers yesterday, iOS 12, the company's latest and greatest mobile operating system, is now running on 80 percent of all active iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices in the wild.
Apple's Shot on iPhone contest ran from January 22 to February 7 and today the Cupertino technology giant officially announced the winners whose works will be featured on billboards in select cities, in Apple retail stores and online.
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.
With each meaningful iteration of iOS, Apple slightly tweaks the aesthetic of the iPhone’s Lock screen, but these changes aren’t significant enough to warrant much praise. That said, if you’re looking for something extraordinary, then you might have more luck with a jailbroken handset.
Enter Jellyfish, a jailbreak tweak by iOS developers Justin Proulx and Ayden Panhuyzen that aims to modernize the look and feel of your handset’s Lock screen interface.
Many forget that the Cydia app itself can be tweaked by way of Saurik’s Cydia Substrate framework, but not iOS developer aJboCydia; he has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called Store Features that lets users customize the Cydia app.
Right out of the box, Store Features empowers users with each of the following features:
Samsung last week unveiled its much-anticipated Galaxy Fold smartphone, which starts at $1,980 in the United States. If that's not expensive enough for you, Huawei has you covered with an even pricier $2,600 foldable smartphone that has your name written on it.
