StonksBar displays the price of your favorite stock in the Status Bar

Whether you invest in stocks or you simply have a fascination with monitoring stock value trends over time, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed StonksBar by iOS developer CokePokes might be of interest to you.

StonksBar ensures that your favorite stock’s value is always in view by implementing a Status Bar-centric display that appears just beneath the time on notched handsets including the iPhone X and later.

Ian Beer publishes details of kernel vulnerability for iOS 14.1 and lower

Matrix code hacked iPhone.

Ian Beer is a name much of the jailbreak community will recognize, and that’s because he’s a talented security researcher who discovered and published a plethora of different tfp0 exploits over the years — many of which went on to further jailbreak tool development.

Although Beer has been somewhat quiet these past several months, it seems it was for a good reason, as the hacker took to Twitter Thursday afternoon after publishing details for what appears to be a kernel vulnerability impacting iOS & iPadOS 14.1 and below.

Kritanta teases an upcoming new jailbreak for iOS 13.7 and below

Most iOS & iPadOS 13 jailbreakers are using either checkra1n, Odyssey, or unc0ver to enjoy an unrestricted handset without Apple virtue signaling how their user experience should be, but there could well be a new jailbreak in town very soon.

iOS developer Kritanta, known and respected for releasing a slew of high-quality jailbreak tweaks over the past few years, took to Twitter this afternoon to tease what could only be described as the very early stages of an upcoming jailbreak tool.

The popular Procreate art app brings the iPad experience to your iPhone

The versatile, award-winning drawing and illustration software Procreate Pocket for iPhone has been updated on the App Store with a bunch of new features, some of which used to be exclusive to the iPad edition of the app. The refreshed app also includes a totally new interface and the Valkyrie graphics engine that “moves as fast as you can sketch, paint or draw.”

NappyTime14 adds countdown timers to your iPhone’s alarm interface

Many iPhone users rely on their handset to wake them up each and every morning with its built-in alarm feature, myself included.

While I certainly appreciate just how easy it is to set up alarms in the iPhone’s native Clock app, I also recognize that there are a few different ways Apple could make it better. One of those would be to add a countdown timer to the native alarm interface.

Apple no longer signing iOS 14.3 following release of iOS 14.4

Apple just last week released iOS & iPadOS 14.4 to the general public with new features, bug fixes, and niche improvements, and as you might come to expect from the Cupertino-based tech company after having released a software update, the previous iOS & iPadOS 14.3 firmware is no longer being signed.

Apple closed the iOS & iPadOS 14.3 signing window just this evening, a move on the company’s behalf that prevents iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users from being able to downgrade their handset’s firmware from the newer iOS & iPadOS 14.4 release. This should come as no surprise to anyone, as Apple generally follows this rhythm of signing and un-signing after each software update it launches, no matter how large or how small.
