The much-improved Files app on iOS 13 gained support for external drives. iDownloadBlog reader Niles Mitchell previously connected all sorts of legacy devices with his iPhone running the iOS 13 software so it came natural to him to try doing the same with his good ol' iPod.
Learn how to enhance your file management and navigation experience for improved productivity by using the Column view in the Files app on your iPad.
As you use iOS, you’ll find that Apple loves to use Blue as the system’s natural tint color. You’ll find this blue tint across various UI elements, including, but not limited to: iMessage chat bubbles, links, loading bars, and even those shortcuts that appear at the top right of the interface as you navigate preference panes in the Settings app.
Blue is a cool color, but if you’d rather have more control over your handset’s tint color, then we’d suggest turning your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Rainbow by iOS developer Justin Proulx, as it lets you change this color to almost anything you could ever want.
Earlier today, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.1 with a zippier jailbreak process and bug fixes for dark mode on the iPad, but as it would seem, the talented hacker wasn’t yet finished refining his jailbreak tool.
Just this afternoon, Pwn20wnd took to Twitter to announce the launch another unc0ver update, this time bringing the tool up to version 3.3.2:
Pwn20wnd released a new update for the unc0ver jailbreak tool Tuesday morning, bringing the official public release up to version 3.3.1.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter, noting that it would make the jailbreak process significantly faster, especially if you were using the new Sock Puppet exploit by @NedWilliamson:
Our friends over at Nomad announced a new line of premium charging cables on Tuesday. The new line covers everything from USB-A, to USB-C to Lightning, and they are all made with a Kevlar outer shell and top-notch internals for high-speed, long-lasting performance.
One of the native apps in iOS that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is the Calculator app. While you could download a more robust third-party alternative from the App Store, the fact remains that the native experience is abysmal at best. For that reason, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called MathTeacher by iOS developer Gabriele Filipponi.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, MathTeacher incorporates several upgrades into iOS’ native Calculator app, making it a significantly more functional math-solving platform than it would have been out of the box.
Learn about a not-so-obvious way that allows you to connect to Wi‑Fi networks and Bluetooth accessories around you without needing to venture into iPhone or iPad Settings.
For as long as I’ve written about jailbreak tweaks, I’ve seen many different attempts to rethink the iPhone’s native power down menu. To this day, Apple’s native implementation is barebones and lacking in useful features, but when you jailbreak your device, those limitations seem to disappear.
Despite how many times I’ve covered power down menu-centric jailbreak tweaks in the past, it seems as if they continue to look nicer in terms of minimalism with each new release. With that in mind, I’m excited to share with you a new release called PowerMenuX (All Devices) by iOS developer MayBeMe.
The jailbreak tool revisions continue to roll out on Monday, starting with an update launched by the Electra Team early this morning to add more device and firmware support to Chimera for iOS 12.0-.12.3 beta.
The Electra Team announced the release of Chimera version 1.2.4 via Twitter, noting that it added support for 4K (A7-A8) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.2 and some versions of the iOS 12.3 beta, making it the first modern jailbreak tool to do so:

If you own an iPhone and an Apple Watch, then you know that each device’s Home screen functions in a different way. iOS' Home screen is optimized for a larger display, while watchOS' is optimized for a smaller display; but if you have a soft spot for how the Apple Watch’s Home screen works and fancy the same experience on your iPhone, then today's your lucky day because you'll no longer need to settle.
Enter Honey, a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Blake Boxberger that ports the Apple Watch’s Home screen experience to iOS devices. As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, Honey can be configured to work in several different ways and lets you experience what you love about your Apple Watch right on your iPhone or iPad.
