While there’s certainly no shortage of things that you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad these days, perhaps one of my favorite things to customize is Control Center because I use it so frequently throughout the day.

Fortunately for those who agree with me, iOS developers Tr1Fecta and Kennyroo have just launched a brand new jailbreak tweak dubbed Akara that claims to give Control Center a “refreshing yet familiar” makeover.

EntitlementFix: Another jailbreak tweak that patches at least 3 known 0-day exploits

It was only about a week after Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.8 with patches for the zero-click exploits that were actively weaponized in the wild and by the Pegasus spyware that iOS developer Mario Cheung released a jailbreak tweak called FORCEDEXIT to address the issue on pwned handsets running affected firmware versions.

Today, Cheung seems to be at it again with a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed EntitlementFix, which allegedly fixes three additional 0-day exploits known to impact jailbreakable versions of Apple’s mobile operating systems.

I don't know about you, but before I consider picking up a new device I usually go over the reasons why I need it. That starts with why I want it, of course, but before I'll pull the trigger on a purchase I at least need to tell myself I'll use it. And, depending on the device and just how expensive it is, that justification is a requirement. Because if I end up buying something and then not using it for a few days, or longer, I tend to return it or sell it off.
