Kuo says don’t expect AirPods 3 before the fall
Ming-Chi Kuo, the most reliable Apple analyst out there, is pouring cold water on the recent rumor calling for the arrival of the third-generation AirPods via a supposed event later in March.
CoolStar announces upcoming Taurine jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3
Ever since @ModernPwner dropped the cicuta_verosa kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 devices, we knew it’d only be a matter of time before jailbreaks would pick up support.
Pwn20wnd was the first to the party after adding iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 support to the unc0ver jailbreak with a custom kernel exploit based on cicuta_verosa, but it just so happens that CoolStar was also working on an iOS 14.0-14.3 jailbreak that uses the cicuta_verosa kernel exploit directly.
AdaptiveHome colors the Home Bar based on the icon of the app you’re using
One thing I like to do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad is give it some personality. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, but I thoroughly enjoy subtle modifications that maintain Apple’s native design aesthetic to a certain degree while still offering something a bit more custom than what you’d experience on a device fresh out of the box.
If you’re anything like me with regard to the above sentiment, then I think you might enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed AdaptiveHome by iOS developer MiRO.
This tweak fixes SMS-based one time password auto-fill after jailbreaking with unc0ver or checkra1n
If you just recently jailbroke your iPhone or iPad with the unc0ver or checkra1n jailbreaks, and you noticed that certain native features of your handset’s keyboard have stopped working as expected, then we’ve got some good news for you!
iOS developer Baw Apple has just released a new and free jailbreak tweak called u0SMSCompleteFix that apparently resolves these issues after jailbreaking these particular versions of iOS or iPadOS.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: BatteryBuddy, Libellum, MediaBar14, & more…
The jailbreak community has been electrified ever since the unc0ver jailbreak picked up support for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3, and with CoolStar's Odyssey14 jailbreak right around the corner, the community still has a lot more to look forward to.
In this roundup, we'll showcase all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-centric news from this past week, covering Monday, March 8th to Sunday, Match 14th. As always, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first, and then we'll wrap things up with an outline of everything else afterward.
Apple Car and VR: what are you most excited about in Apple’s future?
Apple has a lot of different devices available for people to buy. They've expanded beyond just offering computers, and things get even more diverse when we get into all of the different variants of certain products. But the company that built the iPhone isn't slowing down, and the future is certainly... interesting.
ReachPlayer fills the Reachability interface’s void with Now Playing info
Apple knows that its largest handsets can be unwieldy for one-handed usage, and that’s the primary reason why all modern iPhones come equipped with an accessibility feature dubbed Reachability.
I take advantage of Reachability somewhat frequently on my massive 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, and while doing so, I often think to myself about just how much potential screen real estate is being wasted at the top of the display. After all, Apple could at least show device information of some sort in the unused Reachability space so that it isn’t occupied by a whole lot of nothing.
The latest AirPods Max software update has reportedly fixed the battery drain issue
The latest AirPods Max firmware that arrived earlier in the week appears to have fixed the issue affecting some units that were plagued with excessive battery drain while in the Smart Case.
The next AirPods are apparently ready to ship as Apple preps to discontinue AirPods 2
The third-generation regular AirPods are apparently “ready to ship” and will launch probably later this month. And when they arrive, the second-generation model will be discontinued.
CoolStar seeds second beta of Odyssey v1.3.1 with bootstrap fix for cicuta_verosa exploit
Just under a week ago, CoolStar seeded Odyssey v1.3.1 beta 1 to members of the Sileo / Odyssey Discord channel for public beta testing. The biggest change was initial support for the new cicuta_verosa kernel exploit by @ModernPwner.
It wasn’t long after the beta release that the Odyssey Team learned of an issue involving bootstrapping a fresh device when using the cicuta_verosa exploit. Consequently Odyssey v1.3.1 beta 2 is now available with a fix.
The Shy dims iPhone Home Screen icons after moments of inactivity
As a jailbreak hobbyist, I’m always in the market for quirky jailbreak tweaks that make my iPhone do interesting things. I not only enjoy being taking advantage of these small hacks and add-ons for myself, but I also enjoy showing others what they do and watching the expression of surprise that comes across their face before they eventually ask, “how’d you do that?”
One of such tweaks is a new and free release called The Shy by iOS developer haoict, which simply dims your Home Screen’s app icons after a user-determined amount of inactivity. In other words, when you go idle for a few seconds, you get a cool Home Screen effect to complement your inattentiveness.
