Following the first public release of the Electra jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 this week, there were some initial discrepancies with official versions of Saurik’s Cydia dependencies.
Electra users were later advised to avoid installing the APT 0.7 update from Saurik’s Cydia/Telesphoreo repository, but a new update to Electra on Tuesday should address these issues head-on.
With everything that’s going on lately in the jailbreak community as of late, it’d be an understatement to say that people want to know what’s happening with Saurik and the iOS 11 update for Cydia and Mobile Substrate that he talked about on Reddit several weeks ago.
Following the Electra 1.0 public release this week, Saurik took to Reddit once again to discuss CoolStar's jailbreak tool and his progress on updating Cydia and Mobile Substrate for iOS 11. As usual, the comment is rather long, so bear with us…
Apple on Monday shared a trio of new videos through its official YouTube channel, titled ”Safe”, “Ease” and “Apple Support,” inviting Android people to switch to an iPhone.
It shouldn’t be too much longer before the public gets a proper jailbreak on iOS 11, but in the meantime, developers continue to release jailbreak tweaks for iOS 10 devices that have been pwned with Yalu or G0blin.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the new tweaks released throughout the past week. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and wrap things up by outlining the rest afterward.
Anyone with an iPhone 6s or newer can use 3D Touch gestures on their Home screen icons to access Quick Action menus with various app shortcuts. As useful as they can be, these menus can look incredibly bland on stock devices.
A new free jailbreak tweak called SB3DTouchColor by iOS developer Cole Cabral improves the aesthetic of these menus. It does so by colorizing them to match the dominant color of the respective app icon.
After a brief hiatus from Twitter, CoolStar has returned and made important announcements regarding the state of the Electra jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 devices.
Citing one of his most recent Tweets, Electra’s final build is nearing completion and could be ready for a public release as soon as next week:
On Saturday, Saurik flipped the switch for making purchases through Cydia on jailbroken iOS 10.3.x devices.
The change lets anyone jailbroken by way of sticktron’s G0blin tool to purchase paid jailbreak tweaks and themes from the Cydia Store. Before today, this was only possible on jailbroken devices running iOS 10.2 and earlier with Yalu.
Accessory manufacturer Shure is claiming on Twitter that iOS 11.3 will be debuting next week. While it may seem they've been privy to some insider information, a release next week seems unlikely.
The upcoming iOS 11.3 software update will bring increased security when connecting third-party MFi-certified USB accessories to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
The upcoming iOS 11.3 update supports Advanced Mobile Location (AML), a feature that automatically sends the user's current geographical location when making a call to emergency services in countries where this potentially life-saving solution is officially supported.
Apple has made the third betas of upcoming iOS 11.3 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 updates available to public testers. Those in the Beta Software Program can download the updates from Apple’s website, or via their respective over-the-air update mechanisms.
Among the more than a dozen new features and enhancements coming to your iPhone and iPad as part of this Spring's release of iOS 11.3 is an expansion of Face ID on iPhone X, which can finally be used to approve family purchases.
