Customize Control Center in new and exciting ways with Sareth

Apart from selecting the toggles and shortcuts you use the most, Apple doesn’t provide a whole lot of customization for iOS’ Control Center interface out of the box. This is a particularly good example of how having a jailbreak can pay off.

A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Sareth by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 now allows users to colorize Control Center‘s module groups and configure a custom background image for the interface.

Take control of your Spotify Music app with Spos

If you use Spotify Music instead of Apple Music like I do and you have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then you just might come to appreciate all the attention that Spotify gets from the jailbreak community.

A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Spos by iOS developer aesthyrica brings a plethora of new features and improvements to the official Spotify application, including but not limited to:

Chameleon lets you colorize different aspects of iOS to your liking

If you’re looking to add an extra splash of color to your jailbroken handset, then you just might enjoy using a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Chameleon by iOS developer Sean Caissie.

At its heart, Chameleon is a full-fledged system colorization tweak for your iOS device. With it, you can colorize a plethora of different elements found in your handset’s operating system, including but not limited to:

This tweak lets you return to the first page of your Settings app with less effort

Diving deep into your Settings app can be an easy thing to do, especially if you venture into your handset’s Accessibility options. But jailbreakers often install jailbreak tweaks with extensive preference panes, which can sometimes make backing out to the primary Settings page a chore.

If you find yourself in the latter category more often than you’d like to admit, then you just might come to appreciate a newly-released free jailbreak tweak called Return2Prefs by iOS developer thazsar, as it puts a convenient shortcut in the Settings app’s Navigation Bar that makes returning to the original page a breeze.

Hidden Cam snaps a selfie when someone enters your passcode incorrectly

If you’re like me, then you probably don’t appreciate it when someone grabs your iPhone and tries to guess your passcode. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called Hidden Cam by iOS developer Baw Apple can help you determine who’s doing this when you aren’t looking.

Hidden Cam works by snapping a selfie every time your passcode gets entered incorrectly. This method is incredibly efficient because it won’t use any system resources if your passcode or biometric authentication succeeds.

A-Font: A font-customization tweak with support for A12(X) devices

One of the coolest things you can do with a jailbroken device is to change the system font to something a bit more exotic than what you’d typically observe on a stock handset. But not all font-swapping tweaks support Apple’s latest A12(X) handset varieties.

Here to help with the dilemma above is a new free jailbreak tweak release called A-Font by iOS developer Baw Apple.

BinaryPasscode replaces your passcode buttons with binary-centric dots

It was only yesterday that we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called CodeScrambler 12, which randomized the positions of the number keys on your Lock screen’s passcode entry screen. But while we’re on the topic of obfuscating the passcode entry screen, why not check out a new free release dubbed BinaryPasscode by iOS developer eskimo_dev?

As shown in the before and after screenshot examples above, BinaryPasscode replaces the typical numbers that appear inside each of the passcode entry buttons with binary-centric dot patterns. BinaryPasscode should look familiar if you’ve ever used a similar tweak such as BinaryKeypad before.

A unique look at how Apple is testing its own iPhone processors against hacking

British publication Independent today published a rare insight into a secretive facility on Apple's campus in which expensive machines are abusing in-house designed chips to see whether they can withstand hacking and whatever other types of assault anyone might try on them when they make their way into new iPhones.
