From the latest news to the most comprehensive tutorials, learn how to get the most out of your iPad with our step-by-step guides and expert tips.
The only notable difference between the iPad Pros is screen size. Apple's made it easy to pick the model that suits your needs by limiting your choice to just two sizes: an eleven-inch display (2,388-by-1,668 resolution) and a 12.9-inch screen (2,732-by-2,048 resolution).
iOS’ native notification system is overdue for a facelift, but there’s no telling when Apple might finally commit to such an overhaul. Fortunately, jailbreakers won’t need to wait thanks to the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed dotto+ by iOS developers ConorTheDev and Mirac.
Just as the tweak’s name implies, dotto+ takes a dot-centric approach to iOS’ native notification system. In the screenshot examples above and below, you can see that dotto+ displays a small colored dot at the top-right of app icons on the Home screen when they have pending notification(s) awaiting your attention.
It comes up often enough where I find something of interest while reading an article or text messaging my friends and consequently find myself doing some research on Google about said item of interest. Doing this typically necessitates highlighting the link or text in question and then launching the Safari web browser to paste it into the search bar. But what if there was an easier way?
Fortunately, there is. Enter PasteAndGo2, a free jailbreak tweak release by iOS developer amodrono that adds a new option to the Home screen’s Force Touch/Haptic Touch menus to your favorite web browser applications. Examples of the tweak at work are shown in the screenshots above.

iDownloadBlog reader Niles Mitchell is back at it with another installment of his "Will It Work?" video series focused on connecting old gear to modern-day iPhones. This time around, he's attempting to plug a vintage Blackberry Curve handset to his iPhone. Will it work though?
It’s a wonderful thing that Apple finally came to and brought native screen recording capabilities to the iOS platform. In fact, I still remember the not-too-distant past when you would’ve needed a jailbreak tweak or a disgraced App Store app to make this happen.
But as great as iOS’ native screen recording function is, there’s one significant caveat that bugs me, and a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed DNDMyRecording by iOS developer gilshahar7 addresses it.
If you’ve got a jailbroken iOS handset at your disposal, then don’t waste any time – open your preferred package manager and refresh your sources. Upon doing so, you should find a curious new jailbreak tweak called Arc by iOS developer Muirey03 in your Changes list.
Arc is a beautiful new extension for pwned handsets that brings your favorite actions and apps right to your fingertips from anywhere in iOS. As depicted in the screenshot examples above, the tweak is quite literally arc-shaped, and this makes it comfortable to use with one hand.
Dealing with this COVID-19 situation has been tough for many, but at least you can spend your free time tinkering with your jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, March 30th to Sunday, April 5th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
With such an unexpected surge in the number of Home Screen folder-augmenting jailbreak tweak releases lately, it can be a tough call when trying to decide which to install. Fortunately, a new release dubbed Folded by iOS developers Thomz and burrit0z appears to be one of the most comprehensive and promising folder-centric tweaks for iOS to date.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, there’s a lot you can accomplish with Folded. It grants users access to a plethora of new settings that stock handset users would drool over, and what’s more is that the tweak is completely free to download.
If your iPad is oriented the wrong way almost every time you pick it up, you're not alone. It definitely happens to me more often than not. Apple is aware of our First World Problem and has a patented solution involving analyzing the user's face to orient onscreen content properly.
Apple has acknowledged that all 2020 iPad Pro models will disconnect their built-in microphones at the hardware level when a case is attached to the tablet and closed. The privacy and security enhancement prevents malicious software from secretly recording users.
Those who’ve been with the jailbreak community for a while may remember the times when it was easy to download a third-party app from Cydia to import locally-stored media to iOS’ native Music player, etc. Years later, finding such utilities isn’t so common.
The aforementioned circumstances make the release of a new utility called Audicy by iOS developer Jalal Ouraigua rather significant, as it enables users to easily import media stored on the device itself to iOS’ native Music library from the native user interface(s).
