While a lot of iPhone users tend to be sticklers when it comes to their handset’s battery level and keeping it charged up, we also see a fair share of folks who don’t seem to mind gambling on the cusp of a completely dead or just barely charged device. Can anyone say “triggered?”

There’ve been a lot of exciting announcements in the jailbreak community these past few weeks, from checkra1n getting support for A10(X) devices, to the release of a new exploit encompassing iOS 13.5.1-13.7 and the jailbreak tools that received support thereafter. These announcements make it that much more exciting for us to showcase jailbreak tweak releases as they become available.

As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite tweaks first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward, where we’ll also give you a summarized outline of all the most exciting jailbreak news from this past week.
Apple has improved the multitasking experience on the iPad by leaps and bounds over the years – quite literally going from an iPhone-style App Switcher to side-by-side apps over the course of just a few years.

Those wishing that they could simply run windowed applications on their iPhone just as they can on their Mac or Windows PC might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Fuji by iOS developer dcsyhi, because as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, that’s precisely what this tweak allows iPhone users to do.
Lots of iPhone users take their handset’s battery performance very seriously, and given just how much of our lives appear to be driven by the apps we use every day, this doesn’t come off as much of a surprise.
While the iPhone’s Status Bar displays a persistent battery level indicator to alert users to the current charge state of their device, one thing it doesn’t do is provide users with an adequate understanding of the current load on their battery. That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BattRate by iOS developer Julio Verne comes into play.
Hot off the heels of everything going on with the Odyssey jailbreak and the newly released exploit for iOS 13.5.1-13.7, the checkra1n team seemingly appeared from out of nowhere Friday evening with an unexpected update for its bootrom exploit-powered jailbreak tool, checkra1n.
The checkra1n team announced the release of the new update, dubbed version 0.12.1, via Twitter just minutes ago:
The Odyssey Team updated its jailbreak tool on Friday to add support for the newly released iOS 13.5.1-13.7 exploit, and while the updated tool attracted a lot of positive response from the community, some avid jailbreakers were left disappointed after learning that handsets equipped with A8 or A9 chips and running the newly supported firmware versions weren’t supported – at least not at the time of this writing.
A Tweet shared by the Odyssey Team this Friday afternoon, offered some transparency into the current situation:
Back in 2018, Apple acquired the rights to Shantaram, which is set to star Charlie Hunnam (The Lost City of Z). It was expected to arrive sometime in 2020, based on initial production plans.
