When Apple previewed its major iOS 11.3 release coming this Spring, it acknowledge that a pair of new features related to battery health and power management would be coming “in a later beta release,” and now they've provided a more specific timeframe.
Apple’s rumored focus on software quality in 2018 reportedly extends to the Mac platform.
Several developers tweeted out curious video clips that show off some of the major new features that Apple has added to its newly updated ARKit framework, such as the ability to detect vertical and irregularly shaped surfaces, 2D image recognition capabilities and more.
A new report from Ina Fried over at Axios says Apple has pivoted their upcoming plans for iOS. Instead of several new features making their debut this year, Apple will put a higher priority on performance and quality, delaying the majority of new features until next year.
Customizing the application Dock has always been a favorite past-time for jailbreakers, and a new free tweak dubbed Marina by iOS developer CydiaGeek takes that notion into consideration.
Out of the box, Marina lets you customize the number of apps in your Dock and change how it displays on your Home Screen. Imbued with these abilities, you can make your dock both more functional and better-looking than it would be on a stock device.
Amid everything happening with the iOS 11 jailbreak situation as of late, there hasn’t been very much going on in the iOS 10 department. On the other hand, Sticktron changed that over the weekend by releasing G0blin RC2 to jailbreak most iOS 10-3-10.3.3 devices.
G0blin RC2 comes just two weeks after the launch of G0blin RC1, and it brings a plethora of significant bug fixes and improvements that should appeal to anyone handling a stock iOS 10.3-10.3.3 device.
Lane guidance, a new Apple Maps feature in iOS 11 for iPhone, iPad and CarPlay, has expanded to four additional countries following its debut in iOS 11 last fall and subsequent expansion in November 2017 to countries like Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UK.
Despite the crazy roller coaster that the iOS 11 jailbreak department has been on lately, developers are still releasing jailbreak tweaks for customizing the iOS experience.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about this week’s noteworthy releases. As always, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and outline the rest of them afterward.
Not even 24 hours after the release of Electra beta 8-2, CoolStar pushed beta 9 of the iOS 11.0-11.1.2 jailbreak tool on Saturday with a slew of additional bug fixes and performance improvements.
Just like the LiberiOS tool that launched last year, Electra utilizes Ian Beer’s open-source tfp0 exploit to jailbreak supported devices. Notably, it doesn’t install Cydia because Saurik hasn’t updated it for iOS 11 just yet. Instead, users need to resort to SSH for installing extensions.
It was just yesterday that CoolStar’s Electra jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 got updated to beta 8, but many users reported bugs and using it – predominantly with Safari. Fortunately, Electra beta 8-2 launched on Friday with a fix for these issues, among other things.
Just like the LiberiOS jailbreak tool that got released last year, Electra utilizes Ian Beer’s open-source tfp0 exploit. Furthermore, it doesn’t install Cydia, as Saurik has yet to update it for iOS 11 devices.
The Facebook app now apparently integrates with iOS 11's Screen Recording feature.
We reported yesterday that Apple is introducing a new privacy feature.
