Joe Belfiore, the head of Microsoft's mobile business, admitted in a series of tweets Sunday that the Windows Phone platform is basically dead in the water as the company was no longer going to develop new features or hardware for Windows 10 Mobile.
Long-running speculation that Apple deliberately slows down older iPhones in software in order to supposedly push people into purchasing its latest models has been officially debunked and put to rest by Finnish computer benchmark developers Futuremark.
It's Sunday again, and that means we'll be coming at you with another jailbreak tweak roundup. In this piece, we'll show you all of the tweaks released in Cydia throughout the last week.
As usual, we'll start off by going in-depth with our favorites, and we'll outline the rest of the tweaks afterward.
iOS 11 brings with it a whole host of changes, and one of the most notable right off the bat is the updated look and feel for Notification Center. Unfortunately for jailbreakers, upgrading is out of the question.
If you fall into that category, then new free jailbreak tweak dubbed NotificationCenterXI (iOS 10) by iOS developer LaughingQuoll might interest you. It ports the iOS 11 Notification Center experience to jailbroken devices, allowing jailbreakers to have their cake and eat it too.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation today criticized the changed behavior of Apple's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles in Control Center, saying iOS 11 has made it harder for users to control these settings and calling them “misleading“ and “bad for user security.”
If you use iOS' Emoji keyboard regularly, then you should know by now that Apple dedicates the left side of the interface to recently-used Emojis. While useful for some, others often wish they could dedicate this section to manually-designated ‘favorite’ Emojis instead.
Enter Fixmoji, a new third-party keyboard app developed by former jailbreak tweak creator Raviraj Minawala. This keyboard lets users configure a separate database of their favorite Emojis and access them anytime on demand.
Hastebin is an open-source alternative to the popular Pastebin website that lets you upload snippets of code or text online for more comfortable sharing. It can be a useful tool, so iOS developer ipad_kid came made a new free jailbreak tweak called ActiHastebin that makes sharing snippets with Hastebin even simpler for you power users out there.
ActiHastebin integrates with Activator, a well-established add-on for jailbroken devices. It’s straightforward to use and works smoothly, delivering the results you’d expect on an Apple device.
After Craig Feherighi demoed the iPhone X for the first time at last month's keynote, it became evident that several changes to the iOS user interface would need to accommodate for the new edge-to-edge OLED display, its rounded corners, and the notch.
One of the differences was in the App Switcher where each of the cards exhibits heavily-rounded corners that match the aesthetic of the device's display. Other iPhone models don’t have as pronounced of roundness, but a new free jailbreak tweak called switcherRadii by iOS developer CreatureSurvive can replicate this effect on your non-X handset.
Apple on Wednesday stopped signing both iOS 10.3.3 and iOS 11.0, the first official public release of iOS 11 since the software came out of beta on September 19th. With this change, it's now impossible to downgrade iOS 11 devices back to iOS 10.
The company regularly stops signing older firmware versions to prevent downgrades and keep users on the latest firmware possible. It’s also a measure to thwart jailbreaking, which often requires an older firmware version where Apple hasn’t patched the vulnerabilities used in the jailbreak process.
The Major League Baseball postseason just began with the American League Wild Card, and MLB.com At Bat has been updated to prepare for an exciting month of postseason baseball.
Stock exchanges have been a core component of the world economy for a long time now, but they are not exactly easily approachable for novices. Robinhood’s goal is to make investment easy even for those who are not experienced Wall Street aficionados.
Select Apple employees appear to be testing the company's upcoming person-to-person money transfer service with iOS 11.1, which is not available publicly at this time.
