CCCounters adds usage information to iOS’ Control Center toggles
It goes without saying that Control Center would be one of the more advantageous additions to iOS over the years. But despite how great Control Center is, that hasn’t stopped the jailbreak community from tweaking it in imaginative ways to make it better for the end user.

Going from iPhone 12 Pro to iPhone 12 mini
For the past several years, flagship iPhones have become ever so slightly larger and heavier. A few grams here, a millimeter there… It’s barely noticeable from one model to the next one, but over the years, it adds up.

This was of course accelerated by the fact that for the first time, Apple released a mini version of a flagship device.
