Apple Maps adds cycling directions in Seattle and California

Apple tries to dispel concerns about how ‌AirTags‌ could be used for unwanted tracking
Responding to concerns that its new personal item tracker, dubbed AirTag, could be used to secretly track individuals, Apple has now responded by laying out new details about the safety features that the company built into its Find My network to prevent unwanted tracking.
Someone drilled a hole into their AirTag to get that built-in loop
Apple's AirTag is a small disc, and it's designed to help you find lost items. It's very similar to many other item trackers out there. Except for one, potentially very important detail.
Apple had AirTag and accessories were ready to launch for a while
Way, way back in 2019 (which feels like forever ago), the first rumor regarding Apple's Tile-like item tracking device surfaced. We've been hearing about the device that would eventually be called AirTag off-and-on ever since. But it was only this month that Apple finally made the product officially official.

Betelguese Odysseyra1n installer for checkra1n’d devices updated to v1.1 with iOS 14.5 support & more
If you were following along yesterday, a bevy of updates to jailbreak-centric software with support for iOS & iPadOS 14.5 were released. This included checkra1n, Cydia Substrate, and Substitute to name a few.
But the updates didn’t stop there. Odyssey Team Web and App Developer @23Aaron_ pushed an update for the macOS-based Betelguese Odysseyra1n installer for checkra1n’d devices, officially bringing it up to version 1.1.
Give your iPhone’s keyboard the personalized touch it deserves with ProKeys
The keyboard is an integral part of the iPhone’s operating system that users will interface with just about every day. It does everything it’s supposed to do right out of the box, yet Apple doesn’t offer much by way of personalization. That’s just one of many reasons why the keyboard is one of the most popular things to customize upon jailbreaking.
One of the latest jailbreak tweaks to lend a hand in this department is a paid release called ProKeys by iOS developer Justin Proulx, which features eye-catching aesthetics like RGB coloring and animations, along with haptic feedback, among other things.
NoJunkQuickActions removes superfluous options from the Home Screen’s Haptic Touch menus
Apple did something right when they made it possible for users to use a Haptic Touch/3D Touch gesture on individual Home Screen app icons to reveal hidden menus.
Substitute receives update to version 2.0.11 with support for iOS & iPadOS 14.5
Following the launch of checkra1n version 0.12.3, which added official support for A7 and A11 devices running iOS & iPadOS 14.5, Saurik was quick to update Cydia Substrate so that those devices could enjoy reliable tweak injection.
But Cydia Substrate isn’t the only tweak injection method that works on the checkra1n jailbreak. So too does Substitute, and users of this alternative will likely be looking for a similar update. Fortunately for those folks, said update is now available in the form of Substitute version 2.0.11.
Cydia Substrate updated with fixes for iOS & iPadOS 14.5 users
The checkra1n jailbreak tool was updated to version 0.12.3 Thursday afternoon with official support for iOS & iPadOS 14.5 on A7-A11-equipped devices.
Worthy of note, checkra1n users are more likely than any other modern jailbreak user to be taking advantage of Cydia Substrate for tweak injection, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Cydia Substrate received a similar update on the same day.
