In just a month, Apple is going to kick off this year's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. It's at this all-digital event that the company is going to showcase new versions of its most popular platforms, including iOS.
If you live right on the border of two different time zones, or you’re close friends with someone who lives in a timezone different than yours, then you may want to stay mindful about the variances in time across several regions as not to come off as disturbing to someone else when you send a text or place a phone call.
If you’re a minimalist, then you may enjoy customizing your jailbroken iPhone, but perhaps not to the extent of installing crazy themes or adding extraneous features and interfaces. One thing you might enjoy doing, however, is making subtle adjustments to iOS’ native user interface.
Anyone who aligns themselves with the aforementioned sentiment will probably enjoy the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Colorful Lines by iOS developer Yulky Tulky. Just as its name implies, this tweak doesn’t do much else other than allow custom colorization of certain line-centric interfaces in iOS.
iPadOS brings an adaptive iPad cursor that uses subtle animations when hovering over various parts of the system to help you navigate. As an example, toolbar buttons in apps change color, and app icons on the Home Screen grow bigger. The animated cursor gives you a sense of context, but power users may want to disable these iPad pointer animations in order to enjoy a smoother tracking experience that resembles their computer.
Follow this step-by-step tutorial to learn how you can disable iPad pointer animations with just a few taps.
Apple yesterday released the iOS 13.5 software for the iPhone and iPod touch alongside iPadOS 13.5 for the iPad. The updates bring out several new features including coronavirus exposure logging, Apple Music sharing and APIs for developers to create privacy-first COVID-19 apps, as well as Face ID and group FaceTime improvements. To help you make the most out of these new software updates, we've tasked our videographer Harris Craycraft with putting together a little hands-on video walkthrough detailing all the changes in iOS and iPadOS 13.5.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from the unc0ver Team; in fact, the last time the tool was even updated was at the beginning of March. But that silence was broken Wednesday evening when the unc0ver Team teased the imminent release of unc0ver v5.0.0, which purportedly adds support for all devices running Apple’s freshly released iOS 13.5.
The particularly exciting announcement was shared via by the unc0ver Team on Twitter at approximately 8:08 P.M. Eastern time, and was quickly Retweeted by unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd:
Apple on May 20, 2020 released iOS 13.5 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices and the iPadOS 13.5 update for compatible iPads. With those updates come several new features worth mentioning, including a new COVID-19 exposure notification system, Face ID improvements for mask wearers, disabling moving faces in FaceTime, Apple Music sharing to Instagram and Facebook Stories and more. Follow along with our quick tutorial explaining how to use everything new in iOS and iPadOS 13.5.
I often find myself in situations where I require a flashlight, and when one isn’t readily available. When this happens, I’ll do the only logical thing and grab my iPhone to use the LED torch functionality.
There are some cases, however, when using the touch screen to activate my iPhone’s LED torch just isn’t an option, and that’s one reason why I’m excited about the release of a new and free jailbreak tweak called ShakeLight by iOS developer Kritanta.
If your iPhone doesn’t have a Home Button, then it probably has a Home Bar instead. The Home Bar provides a convenient pathway for accessing the Home Screen, App Switcher, Reachability, and other imperative things, but one thing Apple appears to have left out is customization.
Enter myBar, a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Sirius24 that introduces extensive options for customizing the Home Bar’s aesthetics. And if that didn’t sound exciting enough, it should be noted that myBar offers enough configuration out of the box to appease picky minimalists or even the most extreme of interface tinkerers.
The Lock screen is the first thing you see every time you pick up your iPhone to use it, so we’d completely understand if you wanted to personalize it. Apple doesn’t allow much by way of Lock screen customization out of the box, but if you’re jailbroken, then you’ll definitely want to check out a free jailbreak tweak called Dress by iOS developer Litten.
In a nutshell, Dress is probably the most comprehensive Lock screen customization jailbreak tweak that you can get without paying money. It offers a plethora of useful options that will make you excited to get your hands dirty with customization, and best of all, it can get you that personalized Lock screen experience you’ve been looking for.
If anything’s certain, it’s that the time and energy Apple invested in creating the iPhone’s Taptic Engine means haptic feedback is here to stay, and it’ll probably become more advanced over time as Apple further develops and refines its hardware and software.
But one place where Apple falls short on its platform is haptic feedback customization, and that’s where a free and comprehensive jailbreak tweak dubbed Rose by iOS developer Litten comes into play.
Goole recently began making Dark Mode support in Gmail for iPhone and iPad available to more people following a very limited roll-out that kicked off last year, and now the company is on the verge of launching Dark Mode support in its dedicated Search app for iOS and Android.
