Apple posts new ‘Private Side’ iPhone ad

Apple on Thursday posted a new iPhone ad to its YouTube channel called 'Private Side.' It's a fairly humorous clip that highlights a number of real-life situations where people would want their privacy, pointing out that if privacy matters in your life, it should matter to the phone your life is on.

Improve the multitasking experience on the iPhone with FloatingDockPlus

Every iOS device sports a Dock at the bottom of its Home screen, but not every Dock is created equally. Case in point, anyone who has used an iPad before has likely taken notice of unique behavior that isn’t necessarily present on iPhones and iPod touches; more specifically, the iPad’s Dock shows recently-used apps in a separate section just right of the usually docked icons.

This is just one of several ways that the iPad makes multitasking easier, and with that in mind, iOS developer Kiran Patil set out to port many of these features to other iOS devices. The end result? – a jailbreak tweak dubbed FloatingDockPlus is now available to download from Cydia.

ModernAlerts gives your iPhone tvOS-inspired notifications and alerts

While I enjoy the seamless software experience that the iPhone brings to the table, I still must admit that the mobile platform’s notification system leaves a lot to be desired. As it would seem, iOS developers Luke Muris and Geometric Software felt the same way, and so a new jailbreak tweak called ModernAlerts was born.

As it would seem, ModernAlerts draws most of its inspiration from the tvOS platform; as such, it themes your incoming notifications to look more like what you’d expect to see on your Apple TV. But the tweak doesn’t stop there… it takes things a step further by providing users with a full range of theming options.

Customize the YouTube app’s native dark mode color scheme with GrooveTube

The official YouTube app incorporates a native dark mode that can help ease the stress on your eyes when using the app in a dark environment, and while it’s great, it’s also far from customizable. With that shortcoming in mind, iOS developer Revulate has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called GrooveTube.

After installing GrooveTube, you can manually configure the color scheme of the YouTube app’s dark mode to your liking. In the before and after screenshot examples above, you’ll observe how we’ve re-colored the YouTube app background to be darker and altered the tab bar tint color to be red.

Best Food Delivery apps - GrubHub iPhone

Food delivery has come a long way since the days of only being able to get pizza or Chinese brought to your door. Now, there are services that will head to fast food, fancy, or deli-style restaurants to bring once undeliverable goodies to your door step.

Here are the best food delivery apps for iPhone that help you eat the treats you seek.

XB-WakeDevice lets you customize how you wake your handset

Just yesterday we showed you a jailbreak tweak called DownLocker that permitted users to lock their handset by placing it face-down on a desk or tabletop; but today, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called XB-WakeDevice by iOS developer Oliver Crespo that lets users customize how they wake their handset back up again, among other things.

While the Raise to Wake feature reigns supreme on many of Apple’s latest handsets, the same can’t be said about all iPhones and iPads. Furthermore, not everyone uses Raise to Wake, and XB-WakeDevice appeals to both of these somewhat ‘niche’ audiences.

This tweak lets you reassign the native Spotlight/Today page gesture to something more useful

The Spotlight/Today page can be a wonderful thing, but not everybody uses it. With that in mind, iOS developer Oliver Crespo has created a new free jailbreak tweak called XB-SpotlightScroll that aims to increase the number of things you can do when invoking the gesture that’s typically used to access the Spotlight/Today page.

As it would seem, XB-SpotlightScroll can replace the native Spotlight/Today interface with any one of the following options:
