One of the things you’ll notice when tapping on links in apps on your iPhone or iPad is that some apps launch the full-fledged Safari web browser app to load a web page while others launch an in-app web browser that’s based on Safari.
The Now Playing interface that greets music listeners on the iPhone’s Lock Screen works, but it’s not quite as aesthetically pleasing as many would like. Interestingly, it receives minor changes with each major iteration of iOS, but none that really stand out to someone who’d like a total redesign.
If there’s one thing jailbreakers see a lot of, it’s the little animated loading circle that appears following a respring.
Any jailbreakers with an interest in changing the way their iPhone’s Lock Screen looks may want to refresh their package manager’s sources.
A newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Hinata by iOS developer Sugiuta replaces the iPhone’s familiar Lock Screen aesthetics with something that appears to be inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Lock Screen.
Sometimes, Google is pretty quick when it comes to offering support for Apple's software (and hardware). And other times it drags its feet. When it comes to widget support, it's a little bit of both.
Apple is moving right along, preparing its major platforms for the next update. Today, a new beta seed is available to developers.
Apple announced its new AirTag tracking accessory at the Spring Loaded event just over two weeks ago, and the first deliveries only started reaching the hands of avid customers last weekend.
Despite how new the product is, it seems that it has already been hacked by brilliant minds in the security research space.
The jailbreak community is continuously pumping out exciting news and jailbreak tweak releases, and that’s one of the reasons why we come at you every Sunday with a dedicated roundup just like this one.
In this week’s edition of the Jailbreak Tweaks of the Week, we show you all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-centric news spanning the week of Monday, May 3rd to Sunday, May 9th.
I love using my iPhone to listen to music, but I can’t lie – I really can’t stand how iOS reduces the music playback volume when a notification tone comes through. This problem really becomes evident when your favorite part of the song is about to come up and someone just happens to text message you at that exact moment.
All I can say to that is… Ugh!
iOS 14 brought with it what could only be described as the biggest upgrade to the iPhone’s Home Screen to date. The integration of native widgets alongside app icons means that the Home Screen is no longer limited to a bland grid of icons.
But despite this change, many would argue that the Home Screen still looks and feels the same — especially if you still use the Today page as a dedicated home for all your widgets.
I like that I can always glance at my Status Bar to see the time or even how much of my battery I have left before I’ll need to need to connect to a charger.
One of the things I’ve seen a lot of jailbreakers do over the years is change up their Home Screen’s default icon layout. After all, who doesn’t like giving their own device the personalization it deserves?
This capability is possible even on iOS 14 with Apple’s novel Home Screen-based widget system, but various tweak developers have released different jailbreak tweaks with their unique takes on how such a capability should be implemented.
