The latest jailbreakable version of iOS at the time of this writing is iOS 12.1.2, but that could change in the very future.

iOS hobbyist @NedWilliamson Tweeted a teaser Friday afternoon of what appears to be a successful tfp0 exploit for iOS 12.2 on an iPhone 6s Plus, a feat that was purportedly made possible after working closely with long-respected security researcher Brandon Azad:

More of my favorite accessories for the 2018 iPad Pro

The 2018 iPad Pro was (and still is) a game-changer for me, as it quickly became a mobile companion to my home computer when I first started using it. While the iPad Pro isn’t a complete laptop replacement by any stretch, it certainly makes it possible for me to leave home without my laptop at times; but like most things, the iPad Pro works best in tandem with great accessories.

Earlier this year, I compiled a roundup of my favorite accessories for the 2018 iPad Pro. But as you might come to expect, I’ve accumulated several more since that time that can seriously augment the iPad Pro user experience. With that in mind, I’m excited to share some more of my must-haves with you in this part-two roundup.

RePower XII supercharges your iPhone’s power down menu

There’s no doubt that the iPhone’s native power down screen leaves a lot to be desired, but with the help of a new jailbreak tweak called RePower XII by iOS developer Haifisch, you can change that.

RePower XII supercharges the native power down interface, providing users with several other switches besides powering off. Those include:

Dune: A free and open-source dark mode jailbreak tweak

The jailbreak community is no stranger to dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks, but the bulk of them cost money to be downloaded. Given the circumstances, dark mode lovers might be particularly excited to learn about a free release called Dune by iOS developer Skitty.

As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, Dune can be used to give your mobile operating system a darker aesthetic overall. The tweak is designed to darken various UI elements found throughout the operating system, such as:

RecordAnywhere allows screen recordings even when your iPhone is locked

Screen Recording on iPhone

iOS 11 introduced a new Control Center toggle that could be used to video record your iPhone or iPad’s display on demand. The feature is incredibly useful, but it suffers from one substantial flaw: it doesn’t work when your handset is locked.

Enter RecordAnywhere, a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Muirey03 that solves this problem at the source.

Nostalgic for the classic iOS 6 Lock screen? Try this jailbreak tweak

iOS underwent a seriously polarizing redesign as it transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, and for the most part, Apple still maintains the flat UI aesthetic over the older skeuomorphic design to this very day.

But for those who might be nostalgic of the good old days, a free jailbreak tweak dubbed Six (LS) by iOS developer Skitty ports the iOS 6-esque Lock screen with the classic ‘Slide to Unlock’ slider to even the latest iOS devices.

This tweak automatically turns off your iPhone’s LED flashlight if you forget it

Your iPhone’s rear-facing LED camera flash becomes an excellent makeshift flashlight in a pinch, but have you ever glanced at your handset’s battery level after accidentally leaving your LED flash turned on? I have… and it wasn’t pretty.

With a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed OhMyFlash by iOS developer NoisyFlake, you can prevent this from happening. The tweak implements a customizable timeout period, after which your iPhone’s rear-facing flash is automatically turned off.

DragEnabler enables iPad-like Drag and Drop functionality on iPhones at no extra cost

iPad users have long been able to enjoy multitasking-centric features such as Drag and Drop and multi-window interfaces, but iPhone users have been somewhat unlucky in this department, mostly because Apple limits these features to the iPad since it’s marketed as a mobile productivity device.

If you’re jailbroken, however, then you don’t need to play by these asinine limitations. A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed DragEnabler by iOS developer Skitty permits iPad-like drag and drop functionality on unsupported devices, including the iPhone and iPod touch.
