Got a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, but aren’t entirely sure how to get the most out of it? If this sounds anything like you, then you’ve come to the right place.
In this roundup, we’ll showcase all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, April 27th to Sunday, May 3rd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
It was only a few days ago that a kernel-level jailbreak detection bypass had been released to the general public. Dubbed FlyJB by @XsF1re, the project was quickly taken down after the developer lost confidence in his work. But much of his efforts remained open source, permitting future projects to draw inspiration from it.
Now, a second kernel-level jailbreak detection bypass called KernBypass by has been released, this time by Twitter user @akusio_RR. Â The project credits @XsF1re for vnodebypass, hacker Jake James for jelbrekLib, and @0x7ff for maphys. But what does all this mean?
When compared with other smartphone operating systems, there’s no question that iOS leaves a lot to be desired in the notification department. Fortunately, those with jailbroken handsets no longer have to settle with what Apple provides out of the box.
Quart is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LaughingQuoll and designer timeloop that replaces the lackluster native notification system on your pwned iPhone with one that will get you riled up every time you receive a text message or any other sort of notification.
One of my favorite features to ship with iOS 13 is native dark mode support. Not only is it something that I’ve wanted to have for several years, but it plays so nicely with the OLED display that comes standard in Apple’s flagship handsets for both enhanced aesthetics and lengthened battery life.
One way that I think dark mode could be improved, however, is with some kind of tool that automatically switches between dark and light mode depending on display brightness, as it would improve interface visibility in certain situations. Fortunately, that’s precisely the functionality that a free jailbreak tweak called DarkSwitch by iOS developer udevs appears to provide for users.
Apple took great care to ensure that iOS would have one of the most enjoyable typing experiences in the modern smartphone market. While it certainly is one of the best, it can still be argued that the iOS keyboard could be better with a few minor improvements.
One such example is the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called DockX by iOS developer udevs, a simple add-on that brings a full-fledged pasteboard shortcut dock to the bottom of the iPhone’s native keyboard interface.
Welcome to Accessory Spotlight, a weekly column where we highlight an accessory that we find to be incredibly useful, a fantastic value, or both. This week we’ve selected Nomad's Base Station Apple Watch Edition. A number of multi-device wireless charging pads have hit the market over the past year, but the Base Station continues to stand out for its sleek aesthetics, lengthy feature set, and outstanding build quality.
Any stock installation of iOS or iPadOS includes a native Accessibility option called Reduce Transparency that, as the name suggests, reduces transparency in several interfaces found throughout the platform. Some of these interfaces include Today widgets, notification banners, and the Now Playing media player, to name a few.
Some people like using the Reduce Transparency option for the aesthetics alone; unfortunately, toggling this option applies to every aspect of iOS, which may not be preferred in all instances. Those looking for more fine-grained control over this feature may want to turn their attention to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Dusky by iOS developer P2KDev.
It has been several years since Automatic first debuted its connected car service, but all good things must come to an end, apparently.
Before the end of March, Apple launched an app dedicated to relevant information regarding the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease it causes. And now the company has updated the app with more information.
Way, way back in 2014 Apple released an ad all about the stickers, or decals, you can put on your Mac notebook. It was a great way to embrace that particular community, the folks who love to customize their Apple-branded laptop in unique ways.
Locking down talent is just as important to Apple as it is getting new content like films and TV series, and the company has just signed another big deal with another showrunner.
What started in March due to the global coronavirus pandemic is now being extended into May, with Apple Card customers able to defer their payment for yet another month.
