Kernel bug for iOS 14.1 and below raises hopes for exploit, and perhaps jailbreak
Apple unleashed iOS & iPadOS 14.2 to the masses yesterday afternoon, and while most iPhone and iPad owners gleefully updated to take advantage of more than 100 new Emojis and six new wallpapers, the updates also appeared to beef up their respective platforms’ security.
Security improvements are generally a good thing for users; however, they can be red flags for proponents of the jailbreak community since software exploits are the very things that make jailbreak tools possible. With that in mind, it may come as no surprise that jailbreak developers repetitiously remind the community to stay in the lowest possible firmware, as this can increase one’s chances of jailbreak eligibility.

Sphere brings a Chat Heads-inspired multitasking UI to jailbroken iPhones
Apple makes it a breeze to switch from one recently-used app to another on your iPhone, but one area where this particular platform has always left a lot to be desired is the multitasking department.
Jailbreak tweak developers have created a myriad of novel iOS multitasking concepts over the years, but one of the latest examples to land on a mainstream repository is a tweak called Sphere by iOS developer SynnyG.
Apple Watch ECG, irregular heart rhythm notification coming to South Korea and Russia
Apple today made the announcement that its ECG and irregular heart rhythm notification features will become available to Apple Watch customers in South Korea with upcoming releases of iOS and watchOS software updates later this month.
VolumeMixer permits individualized volume levels for each app on your iPhone
One of the things I’ve wished Apple would build into iOS and iPadOS for the longest time is the ability to control individual apps’ volume levels independently of one another. By that, I mean that I might want a higher volume level saved for my Music app as opposed to my Phone app, or perhaps a higher volume for my YouTube app saved as opposed to my favorite game apps.
While this isn’t currently a feature on stock handsets, the good news for those seeking functionality like what was described above is that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called VolumeMixer by iOS developer Brend0n makes the concept into a very real feature.
Miss iOS 9’s Now Playing interface? This tweak resurrects it on jailbroken handsets
The iOS platform received a myriad of changes over the years, with many of those being functional changes and a smaller number being purely cosmetic. Perhaps one of the most iconic changes can be attributed to iOS’ Now Playing interface, which has evolved an awful lot since the days of iOS 9.
Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates all of the latest changes, and some even wish that the iOS 9 Now Playing interface would make an unlikely comeback. The good news, however, is that a new and free jailbreak tweak called NineMusic by iOS developer Minh-Ton can make this happen, at least on pwned handsets.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Escape, Max Photo Zoom, Pocket Protector, & more…
If you're a jailbreaker and you're searching for the latest and greatest ways to customize your iPhone or iPad, then you've come to the right place. This roundup will go over all the latest jailbreak tweaks released between Monday, October 26th and Sunday, November 1st.
As usual, we'll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first; after that, we'll produce an outline of everything else. So without further ado, let's get started!
This jailbreak tweak ports the iPad’s Camera app interface to iPhones
As anyone with both an iPhone and iPad can tell you, there’s a distinctive difference between the Camera app interface on each type of device. The iPhone’s Camera app layout takes a horizontal approach to button positioning, while the iPad’s Camera app layout takes a vertical approach to button positioning.
Apple likely has its reasons for designing things how they did, likely to make accessing controls on the iPad easier when your thumbs are on either side of the device as you control it. But wouldn’t it be nice if there was at least some form of synergy between the two platforms? If you answered yes, then you might enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed iPad Cam by iOS developer pholic.
iOS 14 beta users seeing annoying messages about a non-existent update
It's not just you, annoying messages about a non-existent iOS software update are popping up repeatedly in the iOS 14 beta, almost every time the device is unlocked. The prompt erroneously informs the user that "A New iOS Update is Now Available" when there's none.
