There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes in the jailbreak community recently. With the release of both the H3lix and LiberiOS jailbreaks and the confirmation that Saurik would update Cydia for iOS 11, it seems like we might see another season of jailbreaking after all.
In this meantime, this post serves to provide a brief summary of all the new jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorite releases and then outline the rest afterward.
The iPhone has once again been named the best-selling tech product of the year. According to a report from USA Today, Apple's popular handset outsold Samsung's Galaxy devices and all other consumer electronics in 2017, and it wasn't even close.
If you wake up every morning to several unread notifications, then you probably know what it’s like to have a Home screen littered with unsightly red notification badges. Over the years, I’ve seen people refer to the experience as having a bevy of little red eyes staring back at you, and it's not difficult to understand why.
Anyone looking for a subtler way to acknowledge their apps' unread notifications might enjoy new free jailbreak tweak dubbed AppColorBadges by iOS developer Cole Cabral. This tweak color-matches your badge notifications to the app icons they sit on top of.
Apple on Thursday posted an apology letter to its website regarding its slowing down of older iPhones. In addition to the apology, the company says that it wants to clarify what it's really been doing to older handsets and it even makes a peace offering for disgruntled customers: $29 out-of-warranty battery replacements for the next year.
If you’ve ever looked at an older jailbreak tweak in Cydia and wondered whether it’d work on your version of iOS, then a new free release called tweakCompatible by iOS developer treAson might be of use to you.
This tweak lets you confirm whether a tweak works with your version of iOS before you install it on your device. In doing so, you can avoid potential conflicts that might cause problems with the stability of your jailbreak down the line.
Semi-untethered jailbreaks like H3lix, Yalu102, Phœnix, and LiberIOS put an app icon on the Home screen so you can boot into a jailbroken state after your device restarts, but that’s really the only time you'll ever use these apps.
Whenever you’re in a jailbroken state already, these apps seem pointless to have on the Home screen. That said, a new free jailbreak tweak called Hid3x by iOS developer ipad_kid can hide these apps whenever you’re in a jailbroken state, as shown above.
If you didn’t already cast your votes in the first round of the 2017 Jailbreak Awards, then here’s your second chance. The second round of the 2017 Jailbreak Awards is now open, and polling has officially started.
Jailbreak community members manually typed responses to questions into a form to create a pool of contestants during the first round of the 2017 Jailbreak Awards. The second round narrows that pool down into finalists, letting voters pick from the best of the best for each category.
Even though Touch ID could be used to authorize family purchases, an increasing number of parents who bought an iPhone X are discovering that they're unable to approve their kids' iOS purchases and downloads with the handset's new Face ID facial recognition system.
Apple usually drops prices for older iPhones right after new models arrive. However, a sketchy supply chain report would have you believe that iPhone X, the best and most expensive iPhone model ever made, might receive an unexpected price cut come as soon as early 2018.
Shares in several of Apple's Asian suppliers fell for a second straight day on Tuesday following a report from Taiwan's Economic Daily and some analysts saying that iPhone X demand could come in below expectations during the first quarter of next year.
Apple is reportedly seeking additional modem chip capacity support, with a new report Tuesday alleging that Taiwanese integrated circuitry design firm MediaTek has a chance of winning orders for iPhone baseband modems from the Cupertino tech giant.
There’s been a lot of ramped up excitement regarding the jailbreak community recently, especially since Saurik broke the news that he’d be updating Cydia for iOS 11. That said, many people (developers and users alike) are merely waiting and watching to see what happens.
In this roundup, we’ll go over all the new jailbreak tweak releases from the past week. As usual, we’ll begin by outlining our favorites and get to the rest of them afterward.
