Everyone sorts the app icons on their Home Screens differently, and things will only get crazier now that iOS 14 has introduced the brand new App Library.
But one thing that hasn’t changed is that most people appreciate some sort of rhyme or reason to their app icon sorting, whether it’s by type of app, favorite apps, alphabetical order, or something else.
Texting fanatics know that there’s more than one way to get your point across. In addition to simply typing out short strings of text or adding a high volume of Emojis after a statement, one might use different text effects to help convey a message with a specific type of tone.
One common example that has gained substantial traction recently is something called sPoNgEcAsE, which as you can see for yourself, inverts the case of every other letter in a word or sentence to provide a sarcastic mocking tone to anything it gets applied to.
Text editing was always somewhat of a cumbersome experience on the iOS platform, and although it was drastically improved starting with the release of iOS 13, some would inexplicably argue that Apple could have went about it differently to provide a more user-friendly result.
Whenever I’m in a rush to charge my iPhone’s battery up, it’s not uncommon for me to frequently check the charge level as it sits on my wireless charger. I would assume this curiously-driven urge stems from the fact that the iPhone doesn’t make any effort to let me know when it’s fully charged.
If you’re in the same or a similar boat, then you might have something to gain from trying a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Total Charge Tones by iOS developer ljinc.
Apple has a new feature coming soon to iOS, called App Tracking Transparency. It's meant to give more power to the user, letting them choose which apps track them. But at least one VP of a large commission in the European Union wants to make sure Apple treats all apps equally.
It was only a couple of days ago that security researcher Ian Beer shared a rather interesting kernel vulnerability for A11 and older devices (iPhone X and older) running iOS 14.1 and lower. But such a feat begs the question: what about A12 and newer devices?
Fortunately for those who’ve been asking this question, there could be a light at the end of the tunnel. Security researcher @pattern_F_ of Ant Security Lab demonstrated what appears to be a successful jailbreak attempt on an iPhone 11 running iOS 14.0

Many had thought that the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool would stop receiving updates as development efforts shifted toward newer iOS & iPadOS 13 and 14 jailbreaks, but it seems that isn’t the case.
Chimera received another update this weekend, officially bringing it up to version 1.6.2.
In case you haven’t already heard, Apple recently seeded iOS 14.5 beta to developers with a new feature that permits mask-donning users to more easily unlock their iPhone with Face ID, granted they’re wearing an unlocked Apple Watch. Without this feature, anyone wearing a mask would fail the native Face ID authentication method, compelling users to manually enter their passcode to unlock their device or to approve Apple Pay transactions or App Store purchases.
Given the gravity of just how frustrating it can be to be unable to use Face ID when governments around the world impose mask mandates while in public in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, it should come as no surprise that this feature received tons of praise from would-be users. On the other hand, jailbreakers would be stuck with older versions of iOS that don’t natively support the new authentication feature; at least, until now that is…
Whether you invest in stocks or you simply have a fascination with monitoring stock value trends over time, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed StonksBar by iOS developer CokePokes might be of interest to you.
StonksBar ensures that your favorite stock’s value is always in view by implementing a Status Bar-centric display that appears just beneath the time on notched handsets including the iPhone X and later.
