Our friends over at Nomad announced a new line of premium charging cables on Tuesday. The new line covers everything from USB-A, to USB-C to Lightning, and they are all made with a Kevlar outer shell and top-notch internals for high-speed, long-lasting performance.
One of the native apps in iOS that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is the Calculator app. While you could download a more robust third-party alternative from the App Store, the fact remains that the native experience is abysmal at best. For that reason, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called MathTeacher by iOS developer Gabriele Filipponi.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, MathTeacher incorporates several upgrades into iOS’ native Calculator app, making it a significantly more functional math-solving platform than it would have been out of the box.
The Recents tab found in the iPhone’s native Phone app is meant to display a running history of your incoming and outgoing phone call activity, making it easier for you to call someone back or reference a phone number if you ever needed to. Sadly, the timestamps for older phone calls tend to become less descriptive over time, showing only the date and not the timeframe.
Thankfully, a new free jailbreak tweak called ExactTimePhone by iOS developer gilshahar7 can fix this problem. As shown in the before and after screenshot examples above, this tweak makes even your oldest phone history items show a timestamp in addition to the date that it transpired.
Learn about a not-so-obvious way that allows you to connect to Wi‑Fi networks and Bluetooth accessories around you without needing to venture into iPhone or iPad Settings.
For as long as I’ve written about jailbreak tweaks, I’ve seen many different attempts to rethink the iPhone’s native power down menu. To this day, Apple’s native implementation is barebones and lacking in useful features, but when you jailbreak your device, those limitations seem to disappear.
Despite how many times I’ve covered power down menu-centric jailbreak tweaks in the past, it seems as if they continue to look nicer in terms of minimalism with each new release. With that in mind, I’m excited to share with you a new release called PowerMenuX (All Devices) by iOS developer MayBeMe.
The jailbreak tool revisions continue to roll out on Monday, starting with an update launched by the Electra Team early this morning to add more device and firmware support to Chimera for iOS 12.0-.12.3 beta.
The Electra Team announced the release of Chimera version 1.2.4 via Twitter, noting that it added support for 4K (A7-A8) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.2 and some versions of the iOS 12.3 beta, making it the first modern jailbreak tool to do so:
Learn how to rotate, straighten, crop, trim, flip, and adjust a video’s aspect ratio using the Apple Photos app on iPhone or iPad to edit the clip exactly how you want.
It would seem that Apple has altered its market strategy in India, where its market share is less than two percent and inexpensive handsets rule the landscape, in a move that has left its cash-strapped buyers in the 1.33 billion people country out in the cold.
Waze for iPhone was updated on App Store this morning with a nifty new feature that tells you how much money you should expect to spend on tolls along your route.
If you own an iPhone and an Apple Watch, then you know that each device’s Home screen functions in a different way. iOS' Home screen is optimized for a larger display, while watchOS' is optimized for a smaller display; but if you have a soft spot for how the Apple Watch’s Home screen works and fancy the same experience on your iPhone, then today's your lucky day because you'll no longer need to settle.
Enter Honey, a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Blake Boxberger that ports the Apple Watch’s Home screen experience to iOS devices. As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, Honey can be configured to work in several different ways and lets you experience what you love about your Apple Watch right on your iPhone or iPad.
It wasn’t long after @NedWilliamson released his Sock Puppet exploit that Pwn20wnd and the Electra Team began playing ‘tag you’re it’ with continuous jailbreak tool updates to support the latest possible firmware version(s), and as it would seem, those updates may finally be starting to plateau.
In a Tweet shared just a few minutes ago, Pwn20wnd announced the official public release of unc0ver v3.0.0, which officially brings it out of beta testing:
It appears to be a big day for the Electra Team. Just this morning, the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak received an update to version 1.2.3 with support for certain builds of the iOS 12.3 beta, and in addition to that, the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak was updated to version 1.2.2 with support for tvOS 12.2 on the Apple TV 4K.
The Electra team shared both announcements this morning via Twitter, linking to the newly-updated jailbreak tools on the Chimera website in the process:
