It’s been a couple of weeks since hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd implemented full-fledged A12(X) support into the unc0ver jailbreak in the form of a public beta, and as you might come to expect from an initial public beta release, it was a buggy launch indeed.

Sergio Velasquez ∙ October 14, 2019

Just last week I was talking about the lack of mystery games on the App Store. And now, thanks to the release of Apple Arcade, we're starting to see more of these types of games. Murder mysteries filled with puzzles, a good story, and a bunch of lies.

Element Case’s Black Ops Elite case for iPhone 11 Pro looks great, but costs a small fortune

Anthony Bouchard ∙ October 14, 2019

Going beyond the familiar world of traditional rubber, silicone, or TPU smartphone cases, I often find myself experimenting with substitutions that seem vastly out of the ordinary. While testing such cases for the brand-new iPhone 11 Pro, I happened upon the Element Case Black Ops Elite, which in my opinion, certainly lives up to the notion of being extraordinary.

Element Case’s Black Ops Elite case is built from a bevy of premium materials that you won’t find in most run of the mill iPhone cases, including a hard anodized aluminum frame that gets bolted into a sturdy G10 backplate, and a Dropshock-equipped TPU inner shell lined with a premium felt interior that gives your iPhone all the pampering and protection it needs.
