Apple under Tim Cook's leadership has turned protecting user privacy into one of its missions. The company takes a holistic approach to security and privacy that starts at the semiconductor level. British publication Independent today published a rare insight into a secretive facility on Apple's campus in which expensive machines are abusing in-house designed chips to see whether they can withstand hacking and whatever other types of assault anyone might try on them when they make their way into new iPhones.
As you interact with the Lock screen’s passcode entry interface, you’ll notice that the number keys are always in the same place. This makes entering passcodes easier, but it also makes it effortless for nosy folks to glance over your shoulder and watch the numbers you dial in to unlock your device.
Here to help with this problem is a free jailbreak tweak called CodeScramber 12 by iOS developer eskimo_dev. As you might’ve already deduced from the tweak’s name, CodeScrambler 12 randomizes the locations of the passcode’s numeric keys every time you try to unlock your handset, as shown above.
One or more iPhone models slated for release later this year could allow customers to connect two Bluetooth devices at the same time, like two pairs of wireless headphones.
Whether you’re jailbroken by way of Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver, you’re undoubtedly looking for new ways to trick out your liberated iPhone or iPad. That’s why we make these dedicated jailbreak tweak roundups – to make finding the perfect add-ons as easy as possible for you.

iOS’ native Now Playing interface is good enough for most people, but if you demand more out of your user experience than the average Joe and have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad in your possession, then you may want to feast your eyes on a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Nereid by iOS developer Nepeta.
From what we can gather, Nereid brings an improved Now Playing interface to your handset’s Lock screen as you listen to your music. It can set your wallpaper as the Now Playing track’s album artwork, permit color and control customizations, and much more.
The Electra Team released an updated version of the Chimera jailbreak tool for iOS 12.0-12.1.2 just this morning with significant speed improvements regarding the jailbreak process (the point where the tool exploits your device); but the fun isn’t stopping there.
Shortly after releasing the latest version of Chimera, the CoolStar-led Sileo Team launched an updated iteration of the Sileo Package manager with bug fixes and improvements.
Sometimes when you tap on a link on your iOS device, your handset bumps you from one app to another. Under these circumstances, iOS puts an interactive shortcut in the Status Bar known as Breadcrumbs so that you can return to the previous app, but Apple could have done so much better in this department.
If you’re in agreeance, then you might want to peek at a newly-released jailbreak tweak called AppCrumb by iOS developer sharedRoutine. It improves Apple’s Breadcrumb links by replacing the standard Status Bar shortcut with a more full-fledged windowed app experience.
Chimera jailbreak users are in for a treat this morning, as the CoolStar-led Electra Team has just released an updated version of the iOS 12.0-12.1.2-centric Chimera jailbreak tool with significant speed improvements to the jailbreak process.
The Electra Team shared the news of the updated Chimera jailbreak tool early this morning via Twitter, noting that version 1.0.7 was now the latest release:
The Home screen is best known for its humble duty of serving your application icons to your fingertips on demand, but one element of it that often get overlooked in Apple’s software redesigns is the page indicator just above the Dock.
If you’re ready to give your Home screen’s page indicator a sexy new makeover, then you just might want to try a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Pagebar by iOS developer CalicoCat. This tweak lets you theme and customize the Home screen’s standard page indicator, making breathtaking new aesthetics like those depicted in the animated GIF below possible:
It was only yesterday that Pwn20wnd released unc0ver version 3.1.0 to the general public as “the biggest update to unc0ver yet,” but as it would seem, a few loose ends were found that needed tying.
Pwn20wnd followed up with two consecutive updates to the unc0ver jailbreak tool on Friday, subtly named version 3.1.1 and version 3.1.2. Each update purportedly incorporates bug fixes to stabilize some of the jailbreak’s app-centric features.
When Instagram removed its half-baked Apple Watch app altogether, Instagrammers were left with no official client in sight. Enter Lens, a fully-featured unofficial client for Instagram which works without an iPhone and is much more capable than the discontinued watchOS app.
