In an unforeseen turn of events, hacker Pwn20wnd released v3.5.0 of the unc0ver jailbreak tool to the general public Sunday morning with official support for iOS 12.4, the latest available firmware release from Apple with support for Apple Card.
Update: iOS 12.4.1 is now available as of Monday, August 26th, and this update patches the exploit for iOS 12.4
Pwn20wnd announced the update just a few minutes ago via Twitter:
If you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for new ways to trick out your pwned handset, then you’ve come to the right place.
This roundup will discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 12th to Sunday, August 18th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with the rest afterward.
One of the most important things you can ever monitor on your iPhone or iPad at any given time is its battery level, and if you agree with this sentiment, then you’ll probably take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called Glance by iOS developer KushyDaBush.
As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, Glance brings a battery-centric makeover to your iOS device’s Lock screen, offering a continuous display of your handset’s current battery level right underneath its date and time display.
Spotify has what I’ve come to appreciate as one of the nicest music players available for the iOS platform today, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things I’d do to make it even better. In fact, when I learned about the release of a new jailbreak tweak called SpinThatRecord by iOS developer Menuskha, I was immediately intrigued.
Just as the name implies, SpinThatRecord modifies the Spotify Music app’s native music player such that the album artwork appears as a spinning record rather than a standstill square image. You’ll notice in the screenshot examples above that the album artwork is now shaped like a vinyl record, and below, you’ll find an animated GIF that showcases how the tweak looks as the album rotates:
Dark mode has become such a popular concept that Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 software update will incorporate it out of the box, but jailbreakers have already had access to dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks for what feels like several years now. Still, it isn’t uncommon for developers to release new dark mode-oriented jailbreak tweaks with improved feature sets or performance.
Carbon Dark Mode by iOS developer OxideLabs is one such release, and according to the developer, it’s up to 3.5 times more memory efficient than ‘other’ dark mode jailbreak tweaks on the market today.
Apple’s legal team filed a lawsuit against mobile device virtualization company Corellium LLC this week for purported “copyright infringement,” citing that Corellium’s business model “is based entirely on commercializing the illegal replication of the copyrighted operating system and applications that run on Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices.”
Corellium’s services are a valuable asset to security researchers because they enable deployment of Apple’s mobile operating system in a virtualized environment. With such a tool, hackers can research iOS vulnerabilities, and in the case of unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd, it can even help with jailbreak tool development by ensuring stability across all device and firmware combinations.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to enable and use the gesture-based swipe keyboard on your iPhone and iPad to streamline your typing experience and enhance your productivity.
Who would have thought that such a simple game with some birds with anger issues would have become so big that ended up getting spin-offs, animated series, and even movies? I'm talking of course about the Angry Birds franchise, a simple game about birds trying to recover their eggs from a gang of piggies that want to eat them. Not the smartest plot, but it worked at the time.
Now, almost 10 years later, the birds' franchise is still around. And with a sequel that no one asked for, to a movie that no one asked for releasing in theaters, I wanted to do something special for this occasion. That's why we'll be taking a look at Angry Birds 2.

If you have a jailbroken handset in your possession and you’re into aesthetic customizations, then you just might come to appreciate a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed EnableMeAhora by iOS developer i0stweak3r.
EnableMeAhora allows you to colorize and reshape the toggle switches and sliders in your Settings app however you like. Above, you’ll see a few examples in which the tweak has modified the appearance of iOS’ native toggle switches.

You’ve undoubtedly happened upon an app on your iPhone in which tabs appear at the bottom of the interface for navigating said app. Many native apps, in addition to third-party downloads from the App Store, use this type of navigation interface.
Users generally tap on the tabs at the bottom of the app to get from one view to another, but a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called FluidTabs by iOS developer tomt000 brings this concept to the 21st century by allowing users to ‘swipe’ between an open app’s tabs.
