It's not just you, annoying messages about a non-existent iOS software update are popping up repeatedly in the iOS 14 beta, almost every time the device is unlocked. The prompt erroneously informs the user that "A New iOS Update is Now Available" when there's none.
When Apple released iOS 13 last year, one of the most substantial new features was the redesigned volume HUD interface. It not only moved the volume HUD off to the side and out of the way, but it also made the interface touch-sensitive, enabling finger-based granular volume adjustments when visible.
If, however, you were hoping for some form of customization with regard to the new volume HUD, then you would have been let down. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Sana by iOS developer samoht provides some relief.
Here we go again! Apple is back with another quarterly earnings report, this time wrapping up the year 2020 in its fourth fiscal quarter results.
Just under two weeks ago, developer Brandon Plank launched a beta macOS app dubbed iPAPatcher that allowed users to merge Dynamic Libraries (dylib) or jailbreak tweaks (.deb files) with iPhone or iPad apps (.ipa files) before installing them on a handset of your choosing. In essence, one might describe it as akin to enabling hacks and perks in your favorite apps without the need for a jailbreak.
As of this week, however, iPAPatcher is officially coming out of beta. The source code of version 1.0 of this handy utility is now published on the developer’s GitHub page, and as you might come to expect, it comes with a plethora of improvements that benefit the end user.
Apple today announced Clips 3.0, a major new version of its video creation app for the social age, with features like HDR recording on the latest iPhones, an overhauled interface, support for both landscape and portrait orientations and much more.
In a rather unsurprising move, Apple closed the signing window for iOS & iPadOS 14.0.1 Tuesday evening, one full week after unleashing iOS & iPadOS 14.1 to the general public to introduce various bug fixes and improvements for the company’s user base.
By closing the signing window for this particular version of firmware, Apple has effectively built a firewall against those wanting to downgrade their iPhone or iPad’s firmware for one reason or another. But this shouldn’t take anyone by shock; after all, Apple loves being in control of its users and signaling what they can and can’t do with their devices. This is nothing new.
“Warp Drive - Teleport Racing!“ is another coming-soon Apple Arcade title. The game will bring a unique mechanic to the core of the racing experience: teleporting around the track to reach different areas. This will let you do things like jump huge gaps, drive on the ceiling, overtake the opponents in unexpected ways and more (sounds like “Wipeout“ to me).
“Crash Bandicoot: On The Run!” is coming to the iPhone and iPad in Spring 2021 via publisher Activision and mobile developer King, which is behind the popular Candy Crush series.
Apple has used the color blue to accentuate buttons, sliders, and more for as long as I can remember. But if you have a favorite color besides blue, then you might find it disappointing that Apple doesn’t offer any way to customize these color accentuations out of the box.
That’s where a newly released jailbreak tweak called Twister by iOS developer SouthernGirlWhoCode can help. This tweak provides users with the option to change iOS’ default accentuation color for the aforementioned interface elements, and it does so in a fashion that looks and feels like it was made Apple themselves.
The addition of dark mode support was perhaps one of the biggest new features of last year’s iOS 13 release, and it’d be an understatement to say that Apple delivered a wonderful dark mode-centric user experience. On a stock device, dark mode can be toggled on or off from the Settings app, or via Control Center if the user has added the dark mode toggle module.
But for those who are too lazy to deal with either of the above options, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called FloatingDarkMode by iOS developer Ethan Whited brings an always-accessible dark mode toggle button to jailbroken handsets that floats over any user interface.
If you’ve poked your nose in the jailbreak community’s trending news lately, then you’ve undoubtedly caught wind about a developing jailbreak for iOS 13.5-13.7 devices. Software security researchers associated with FreeTheSandbox first announced plans to release such a jailbreak at the end of September, and there have been a number of other teasers since then.
Just this afternoon, the @FreeTheSandbox Twitter account generated more excitement among jailbreakers after it turned to the community in search of potential testers. The Tweet, shown below, appeared seek users of certain types of devices running iOS 13.5.1 through 13.7, as these will be the handset and firmware combinations that the jailbreak supports when released.
