Riley Testut, developer of popular console emulator Delta for iOS (formerly GBA4iOS), has cooked up a little side project which will keep his fans occupied while we wait for Delta's full release.
Dubbed Delta Lite, the project is a working Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator which runs inside Swift Playgrounds, Apple's own Swift development app for iOS.
Apple yesterday released a fourth beta of what would become the major iOS 12 software update to its registered developers. It followed up this morning with a new public beta of iOS 12 that contains the same features and changes like yesterday's developer-only iOS 12 beta 4.
As expected, Electra Team member Pwn20wnd released the much-anticipated SemiRestore11/Rollectra utility on Monday, enabling any Electra1131 user to completely un-jailbreak their device with the tap of a button.
SemiRestore11/Rollectra is a free download from Cydia’s Packix repository, and should also be accessible from the Electra Team’s upcoming Cydia replacement, Sileo.
Mac content caching cuts down your Internet data usage and accelerates downloads on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV dramatically. Here's how to set up and use this feature to avoid repeated downloads and reduce bandwidth usage.
Today, July 16, is World Emoji Day. To celebrate, Apple's doing its part by promoting the 70 new emojis that are coming to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac this fall. The emoji characters are part of Unicode 11.0, which was approved earlier this year.
If you worry about your privacy more than most, then you might want to go beyond a simple passcode to protect your iPhone’s valuable data. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called BioProtect X (iOS 11) by iOS developer Limneos can help.
As the name implies, BioProtect X can protect apps and other important things on your device. The tweak supports various security measures for doing so, including Face ID, Touch ID, or a traditional passcode.
It’s been an incredibly exciting week given the circumstances surrounding Electra1131. Now that we have a more current jailbreak tool at our disposal, we’re beginning to see increased activity from jailbreak tweak developers.
In this piece, we’ll go over all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from July 9th to July 15th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.
It’s only natural to fancy a lower display brightness when you’re in a dark environment, such as your bedroom during the night. Doing so makes viewing your display more comfortable by reducing the strain on your eyes.
But another eye-saving feature that comes bundled in iOS is Reduce White Point, and a new free jailbreak tweak called RWP Slider by iOS developer SpicaT makes it substantially easier to use.
If you’re worried that someone might be trying to obtain unauthorized access to your iOS device when you aren’t looking, then you might find a new free jailbreak tweak called CatchaThief by iOS developer Jake James useful.
Once installed, CatchaThief harnesses your handset’s front-facing camera to snap a picture whenever someone enters your passcode incorrectly, allowing you to see anyone that might be trying to use your device without your permission.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to add another person’s face to Face ID on your iPhone or iPad so they can also unlock your device and authenticate for apps and purchases using their face.
The iPhone X doesn’t have a Home button like traditional iPhones do. Instead, Apple has users swiping up from the bottom of the display to leave applications and unlock the handset.
But even if you’re still rocking a traditional Home button-equipped iPhone, you can take advantage of a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed HomeGesture by iOS developer MidnightChips to simulate the iPhone X-like swipe gestures on unsupported devices.
While the notch is one of the iPhone X’s most distinguishable features, so too is the missing Home button, which has been replaced with a new gesture bar.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t provide any customization options for said gesture bar, but a new free jailbreak tweak called LS Gesture Bar Colour (iPhone X) by iOS developer Justin Petkovic provides you with the customization that you might be looking for.
