Hope rises for jailbreaking iOS 14 following release of new cicuta_virosa kernel exploit by ModernPwner
If you’re using iOS or iPadOS 14 right now, then your only means of jailbreaking would be with the checkra1n jailbreak on older A7-A11-equipped handsets up to and including the iPhone X.

One of the small things I appreciate the most about being a Mac user is that I can easily AirDrop files from my iPhone to my computer and vice versa in some instances.

This tweak can convert text to sPoNgEcAsE with the tap of a button
Texting fanatics know that there’s more than one way to get your point across. In addition to simply typing out short strings of text or adding a high volume of Emojis after a statement, one might use different text effects to help convey a message with a specific type of tone.
One common example that has gained substantial traction recently is something called sPoNgEcAsE, which as you can see for yourself, inverts the case of every other letter in a word or sentence to provide a sarcastic mocking tone to anything it gets applied to.
The second season of hit comedy series ‘Ted Lasso’ will have more episodes than the first season
Ted Lasso started off as a pretty silly idea, especially when it was pitched as a TV series. But here we are in 2021 and it turns out the series is one of the best things you can watch right now. So of course Apple renewed it for a second -- and a third!-- season for Apple TV+. But there's even more good news.
