Stay up-to-date on the latest iPhone news and learn new tips and tricks with our comprehensive tutorials. From software updates to new features, we’ve got you covered.
Apple on Monday issued the new iOS 11.2.2 software update for iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later and the sixth-generation iPod touch, as well as the new macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Supplemental Update for Mac computers.
Apple's second-generation iPhone SE is reportedly rumored to feature an all-glass back, indicating for the first time that this affordable Apple handset might potentially support wireless charging features compatible with the Qi standard.
In less than two weeks since admitting to deliberately slowing down older iPhone models with worn-out batteries, nearly 30 class action lawsuits have so far been filed against Apple, highlighting just how badly the company has handled the whole situation.
While major mobile platforms such as Apple's iOS and Google's Android come with rich location services helping apps like Uber and Facebook pinpoint a user’s location, emergency services were unable to use this data. Thankfully, that's beginning to change now.
Two major investors on Monday issued an open letter to Apple, titled “Think Differently About Kids,” to urge the Cupertino company to do more to protect children from smartphone addiction and potentially improve the parental control features on iPhone and iPads.
Speck has announced a new partnership with Scosche to create a new iteration of their popular Presidio iPhone case that works with Schosche's MagicMount magnetic mounts.
As most of the jailbreak community patiently awaits some kind of jailbreak solution for iOS 11, there hasn’t been much activity on the iOS 10 side of things. Fortunately, projects are underway, and it’s only a matter of time before Saurik updates Cydia and Substrate for iOS 11.
In the meantime, several developers continue to produce tweaks for jailbroken iOS 10 devices, and this roundup will go over what has been released throughout the course of the past week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.
Saurik revealed a couple of weeks ago that he was working on iOS 11 support for Cydia and Mobile Substrate, but a new comment posted on Reddit by the father of jailbreaking himself highlights that there’s a lot more going on under the hood than meets the eye.
One of the major highlights of the comment is how Saurik teamed up with a prominent developer from the jailbreak community to make all this possible. That developer wishes to remain anonymous at this point in time, but we’ll all eventually learn of his or her identity when the time is right.
Quick Actions are the menus accessible from the Home screen with a 3D Touch gesture on any app icon (iPhone 6s or newer). They not only contain shortcuts to vital app functions but they sometimes host widgets that summarize information from that particular app.
While some enjoy these widgets, the same can’t be said for everyone. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t provide a way to hide these widgets from the Quick Action menus, so a new free jailbreak tweak called No3DTouchWidgets by iOS developer DGh0st was born.
Spotify is one of the most popular alternatives to Apple Music for media-streaming on iOS, but it lacks a history list for seeing what you’ve listened to in the past.
If you’ve been itching for a way to change that, then you might find a new free jailbreak tweak called SpotifyHistory by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson helpful. It brings a full-featured music history list to iOS' official Spotify Music app.
Anyone with an iPhone 6s or later can access handy 3D Touch-based app features directly from their Home screen without launching the said app, but those with older devices haven’t been as lucky (until now).
A new free jailbreak tweak called Force3DAppShortcuts by iOS developer DGh0st lets you access the same Home screen-based Quick Action menus that you could typically only access on a 3D Touch-enabled device.
Last week, and following the iPhone performance throttling fiasco, Apple announced it would replace batteries of iPhone 6 and newer devices for a discounted $29. At the time, it was understood that to qualify for the battery replacement, your iPhone had to go through a battery diagnostic. That diagnostic would then dictate whether your battery was bad enough for Apple to replace it.
