As promised, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has released a major update for his iOS 11-12-centric jailbreak tool on Thursday. The latest version of unc0ver is now v3.1.0.
Pwn20wnd announced the update just this morning via Twitter, noting that it was the single most substantial update ever released for the unc0ver jailbreak tool:
It’s been approximately one month since hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.0.1 to the general public, and there’ve been no subsequent updates to the jailbreak tool since. But that’s all about to change.
As we reported just last week, Pwn20wnd is planning to release a substantial update for unc0ver with a plethora of bug fixes and stability improvements. At the time, we knew very little about the upcoming update; but Pwn20wnd has been somewhat vocal as of late regarding what we can expect:
This tutorial helps you see the world from your couch using the Flyover feature of the Apple Maps app on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
iOS device users can invoke Siri on demand with a simple button press or by muttering ‘Hey Siri’ under certain circumstances, and jailbreakers have even more options for calling upon their virtual assistant for help, such as Ryan Petrich’s Activator extension. But who said your options had to stop there?
With a free jailbreak tweak called SiriApp by iOS developer level3tjg, you can add a dedicated application icon to your Home screen for invoking Siri.
The notch at the top of modern Face ID-enabled handsets such as the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max is a non-issue to me, but some people can’t seem to wrap their minds around having anything besides a straight line integrated with the display’s edge.
If you identify with the latter group of people and your notched handset is jailbroken, then you’ll be excited to learn that you can now download a newly-released jailbreak tweak called SmallStatusBarX by iOS developer level3tjg to hide the notch and enable the legacy Status Bar on relevant handsets.
iOS 11 and 12 introduced a lot of changes over iOS 10, but in the aesthetics department, the large emboldened titles that appear in certain apps really tend to stick out.
The emboldened titles don’t look terribly horrendous, but one of the most common complaints that we see regarding them is Apple’s choice to left-align the text. Given the circumstances, iOS developer level3tjg came up with a free jailbreak tweak called CenteredLargeTitles to resolve this debacle for the picky ones.
If you’re enjoying a jailbreak on iOS 11 or 12 by way of the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra jailbreak tools, then you might be excited to learn that the bundled Sileo package manager has been updated to version 1.0.8 on Tuesday with some notable improvements.
The Sileo Team announced the update via Twitter just this evening:
Picaso Lab handcrafts gorgeous leather accessories for keeping your Apple gear in pristine condition. Having previously reviewed their MacBook Air cases and iPad sleeves, we now go hands-on with one of the recently released three new colorways for their iPad Pro cases.
I’m a firm believer that the iPhone needs a native audio visualizer, and that’s mainly why I’m such a massive fan of a popular jailbreak tweak called Mitsuha Infinity that we showed you just last month.
Mitsuha Infinity enabled the audio visualizer in the Now Playing app and on the Lock screen, but with a new add-on called Mitsuha Infinity – Home Screen by iOS developer Nepeta, you can now enjoy the same effect on your Home screen.
T9 dialing was initially introduced as a means of making text input easier on 3x4 numeric keypads, much like those found on old cell phones. Modern smartphones with their phone number hot-linking and advanced contact lists have all but phased out the need for such things, but to those wishing they could access T9 in the iPhone’s native Phone app: you’re in luck.
T9Dialer is a somewhat new jailbreak tweak released by iOS developer Jordan Koch (eskimo_dev) that ports full T9 functionality to the numeric keypad in the iPhone’s native Phone app.
Conventional wisdom is saying that sales of mini tablets have collapsed due to smartphones adopting ever-larger displays. With that in mind, we set out to compared the screen size differences between Apple's iPad mini and iPhone XS Max.
