Fingerprint on display technology was once expected to launch on the iPhone X in 2017. Instead, Face ID was introduced to replace Touch ID on Apple's current flagship device.

Snapchat makes it a cinch to subscribe to any publisher or creator listed under the Discover tab, while watching their post or video. This handy feature makes it very easy to add creators to your following list on a whim, without having to stop viewing their posts in Discover.
Hot off the heels of a Rollectra/SemiRestore11 update this Labor Day weekend, developer and ex-Electra Team member Pwn20wnd has released another update to the un-jailbreaking tool on Tuesday. The latest update brings the utility’s version number up to 1.1.2.-1.
In case you’re in need of a refresher, the update that dropped on Labor Day weekend added support for iOS 11.3-11.4.X devices that had been jailbroken with Electra. Furthermore, it added a new option for un-jailbreaking your handset without losing your user data.
Looking for a new way to spice up that iOS 11 jailbreak? Then perhaps you should try a new jailbreak tweak release called Windmill by iOS developer LaughingQuoll.
Hot off the heels of the latest Cydia source refresh, Windmill brings a customizable toolbar to the iOS platform. With it, you can quickly get to your Home Screen, access the App Switcher, and return to your most-recently-used app in a jiff.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp is rolling out its notification extension support, as well as other improvements including Wallet support, a suspicious link feature and more.
Microsoft's decided that a major Snapchat-style redesign for Skype, released a year ago, was perhaps too much for users so it's removed the Stories-like Highlights feature from the app.
Thursday, August 30, Apple sent out media invitations to the upcoming iPhone fall event. We are expecting to see two new handsets and a refresh 's' version of the current iPhone X. This will place Apple's handset line up sizes at 5.8", 6.1", and 6.5".
Each time a new invitation is released, the iDB wallpaper community rushes to create incredible images to celebrate the occasion. This is by far, the largest collection of event wallpapers we've ever posted. No surprise, fan favorite AR72014 is leading the charge with five different versions for iPhone. We are also excited to have options for iPad, Apple Watch, and desktop as well.
The jailbreak community hasn’t missed a beat since the Electra Team released its Electra1131 jailbreak tool. That said, we’ve seen several exciting jailbreak tweak releases.
This weekly roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released from August 27th to September 2nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and outline the rest afterward.
A handful of jailbreak tweaks have been released in recent memory that colorize the Now Playing interface in iOS 11, but one of the newest is ColorFlow 4 (iOS 11) by iOS developer David Goldman.
With ColorFlow 4 installed, the Now Playing interface adopts new color schemes that match the dominant colors of your album artwork. The animated GIF above depicts a few examples of how the tweak works on both the Lock screen and the native Music app.
Electra is the primary way to achieve a jailbreak on iOS 11 these days, but it’s still a great idea to have an un-jailbreak tool handy just in case something goes wrong. Rollectra/SemiRestore11, released in July by former Electra Team member Pwn20wnd, quickly filled these shoes. It utilized APFS snapshots to revert any device pwned with Electra to a stock state.
As of this week, however, Pwn20wnd released an updated version of the tool. Version 1.1-2 is available both as an upgrade in Cydia and as a separate jailed package that can be side-loaded even when you aren’t in a jailbroken state.
If you’ve gone through the trouble of jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad and are perusing for a fun and quirky way to customize it, then look no further than a new free jailbreak tweak called YouRespring by iOS developer Dev4i.
YouRespring lets you give your handset’s respring screen a fresh coat of paint. It replaces the traditional black screen with the central white spinner you see above with any animated GIF that you might fancy having as your respring screen.
