You can configure your iPhone to display its numeric battery percentage in the Status Bar, but the same can’t be said about any Bluetooth peripherals that you might have paired with your device, such as AirPods or Apple Watch.
iOS developers Easy-Z and Karimo299 recognized this as an issue for some people and responded to the situation with the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called EZBatteries.
On Tuesday, the Sileo Team pushed another minor update to the Sileo beta preview on Tuesday with some new features and enhancements, bringing it up to version 0.7b2.
Citing the Sileo Team’s official announcement on Twitter Tuesday evening, this update adds full support for 3D Touch gestures via the Home screen and in the app, enabling you to access shortcuts and take advantage of peek-and-pop in the app itself:
The Photos app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch contains a weird bug, one we hope Apple never fixes, that makes it possible to zoom in on a photo beyond the visibility threshold.
A bevy of different iOS 12-centric kernel exploits have been released in the last several weeks, and while we don’t yet have a full-blown, Cydia-supported iOS 12 jailbreak, that’s not to say progress isn’t being made in producing one.
Jailbreak developer and unc0ver co-creator Sam Bingner shared a small teaser via Twitter on Tuesday of what appears to be a functional Cydia app running on iOS 12; but don’t be fooled, there’s still more work to be done:
Just under two weeks ago, hacking guru tihmstar released v1ntex, a voucher_swap-like exploit for 4K devices that contributed to iOS 11.4.x support in both the Electra and unc0ver jailbreaks. But just this morning, tihmstar released another exploit dubbed v3ntex, which allegedly supports iOS 12 devices.
Tihmstar shared his exciting announcement via Twitter Monday morning with proof of the exploit, adding that he only tested his v3ntex exploit on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.1.2 and that it could likely still do with some improvements:
Apple's software that allows American veterans receiving care through the United States Veterans Health Administration (VA) to securely view their aggregated health records on iPhones will be launching soon, the company acknowledged Monday.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd dropped the 27th revision to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Monday, and it's said to significantly improve the reliability of Brandon Azad’s voucher_swap exploit on supported iterations of iOS 12, including 12.0 through 12.1.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the revision via Twitter Monday morning, incorporating a link to the official GitHub repository where it can be downloaded:
A source claiming knowledge of AirPower development says Apple's elusive multi-device charging accessory is at long last ready for an official release some time in the spring.
Just a few days ago, we showed you a new jailbreak tweak called Siliqua 2 that empowered users to customize the stock gesture system on any pair of AirPods, but why stop there? A new free release called AirWave by iOS developer Michael Lema can provide you with at least two more customizable gestures whenever a pair of AirPods are actively paired with your handset.
While Siliqua 2 focused primarily on changing the outcome of your AirPods’ native tap gestures, AirWave brings two previously non-existent gestures to your device: 1) double-pressing your iPhone or iPad’s power button when AirPods are connected; and 2) triple-pressing your iPhone or iPad’s power button when AirPods are connected.
The Sileo Team announced a minor incremental update to the Sileo public beta on Sunday with repository-related enhancements and fixes, formally bringing the alternative iOS 11-centric package manager up to version 0.5b1.
The Sileo Team announced the update via Twitter Sunday morning, adding that it would clear the cache correctly to prevent unwanted disk space usage and add support for tint colors on jailbreak package depictions:
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd appears to have been busy this weekend, revising the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release jailbreak tool at least five more times since Saturday afternoon. Betas 22-26 include the brand-new rootfs remount that surfaced yesterday afternoon compliments of hacker and software tinkerer @MiscMisty.
Pwn20wnd took to Twitter this morning to announce the bulk of those revisions and elucidate what they represent:
It can be challenging to keep up with the sudden surge of jailbreak news as of late, but that’s what we’re here for.
