Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities now thinks that all three iPhone models releasing in 2020 will feature 5G cellular capability, a change from his earlier prediction calling for two of the three new iPhones slated to ship in the next year to incorporate 5G cellular modems dual-sourced from Samsung and Qualcom.
The Lock screen is the first thing you see every time you pick up your iPhone to use it. With that in mind, it’s not hard to see why some jailbreakers are quick to customize the appearance of it.
If you’re a minimalist and you appreciate the small things in life, then you might take a liking to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called CustomLock by iOS developer TylerD3V, as it provides users with two great ways to change the Lock screen’s aesthetics: text alignment and third-party fonts.
Jailbreakers haven’t even been able to blink their eyes lately without some sort of news regarding exploit or jailbreak tool updates, and as it would seem, there’s no sign that this will be slowing down anytime soon.
While the bulk of this news has dealt with adding support for newer firmware versions by way of updated and more efficient exploits, hacker and rootless JB 3.0 developer Jake James shook things up a bit this morning when he released updated versions of his Sock Port and Sock Port 2 tfp0 exploits with support for 64-bit devices running iOS 10.0-10.3.3:
If you’re as excited about all the latest jailbreak tool updates as we are, then you’re probably looking for new add-ons and extensions that can boost the usability and augment the aesthetics of your pwned handset.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, July 22nd to Sunday, July 28th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Two more consecutive updates were released for Sileo Saturday afternoon, officially bringing the Chimera and Electra-centric package manager up to version 1.2.5. The same update is also available as a Demo for non-jailbroken handsets.
The Sileo Team announced Sileo versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 via Twitter just hours ago, with each update further addressing repository issues that were introduced in a previous update:
Just yesterday, the Sileo Team released v1.2.0 of the Sileo Demo for testing on non-jailbroken devices, promising that a jailbreak-centric update to Sileo would soon follow. Now, it appears that update is finally out, and better than before.
The Sileo Team released two consecutive updates for the Sileo package manager Saturday morning, including version 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. The updates were announced via the Sileo Team’s Twitter page:
Sileo is the exclusive package manager for handsets that have been pwned with the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra jailbreaks, but non-jailbroken devices can deploy a special build of Sileo for testing and repository-browsing purposes.
On Friday, the Sileo Team issued a revised iteration of the Sileo Demo for non-jailbroken devices, bringing it up to version 1.2.0:

The Electra Team on Friday released updated iterations of the iOS-Centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool, bringing the former up to version 1.2.7 and the latter up to version 1.2.6.
The Electra Team announced the two updates via Twitter early this morning, and from what we can gather, these updates focus primarily on the exploits used by the tools to jailbreak supported handsets:
Following yesterday's announcement that Apple is purchasing Intel's 5G smartphone modem patents and other assets in a deal valued at $1 billion, Reuters today reported that first Apple devices with an in-house cellular modem could ship as soon as 2021.
Your iPhone supports three different types of wallpapers, including still images, Live Photos, and Dynamic Wallpapers. The latter is particularly interesting because it's the closest thing to video wallpapers that Apple has ever provided, but iOS’ native selection of Dynamic Wallpapers out of the box leaves a lot to be desired.
It was only a few weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Dynamic Apples by iOS developer JGeorge, which replaced the stock Dynamic Wallpaper with Apple-esque ones, but if that didn’t do it for you, then perhaps a new free release called Dynamic Rainbow Hearts.
We saw an update for the iOS 12-based Chimera jailbreak tool earlier today, and like clockwork, it seems that Pwn20wnd has released a couple of updates for the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11 and 12 as well.
Pwn20wnd announced the updates just minutes ago via Twitter, and as it would seem, unc0ver v3.4.2 is now the latest release available to the public. Unc0ver v4.3.2 was released just shortly after v4.3.1:
