Credit where credit is due: Apple has managed to keep the lid on many of the upcoming changes planned for iOS's next major update. But today sees a slight change of pace.
Apple released the public version of iOS 14.6 on May 24, 2021. Less than 24 hours later, some users began complaining on social media about a significant battery drain and overheating.
Apple just yesterday released iOS & iPadOS 14.6 to the general public to lay the groundwork for Apple Music’s upcoming lossless playback option, support Apple Card Family, and more. But that's not all...
Also worth noting is that iOS & iPadOS 14.6 patched a number of security vulnerabilities, including one that purportedly allowed security researcher @xerub to gain arbitrary code execution by simply parsing a carefully crafted certificate.
In early June, Apple is going to unveil the next major update to iOS. Before that, though, the company has a relatively minor update to launch.
There’s certainly no shortage of jailbreak tweaks that modify the look and feel of an iPhone’s volume HUD interface, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the current abundance of options on the market offer the look and feel that each individual jailbreaker might be going for.
If your jailbreak depends on the Sileo package manager for installing jailbreak tweaks and extensions, then today might be a good idea to launch the app and refresh your sources.
When you’re jailbroken, it can be hard to resist the temptation to install a bunch of jailbreak tweaks that augment your user experience. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you’ll quickly come to the realization that the surge of tweak installations adds superfluous preference panes to the Settings app and makes you do more scrolling to get where you’re trying to go.
Some apps and background processes are more CPU-intensive than others. Consequently, those apps and background processes will pound your battery the hardest, resulting in reduced battery life.
If you’re lucky enough to have a jailbroken iOS or iPadOS 14 device in your possession in this day and age, then there are certainly a lot of perks to be enjoyed from the bevy of add-ons available.
When Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14 last Fall, one of the first things that stood out to me was that the brand new App Library interface and how it was limited to smaller handsets such as the iPhone and iPod touch. Unfortunately, iPad users would be out of luck if they wanted to try the App Library.
The iPhone’s native video player certainly gets the job done, but if you’re interested in something a bit more minimalistic, then a new jailbreak tweak called Atlas by iOS developer Chr1s might be for you.
Last month, we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called DNDBadges by iOS developer Ichitaso that turned your Home Screen’s app icon badges purple whenever Do Not Disturb mode was enabled.
