AOD brings an Android-style always-on-display to jailbroken iPhones
One of the cool things that several Android handsets have that the iPhone doesn’t is an always-on-display, which, for those who don’t know, continuously displays information on the Lock screen of OLED display-equipped handsets without ever shutting off, such as the time and any missed notifications. Fortunately for jailbreakers, this is no longer an Android-only feature.
With the help of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed AOD by iOS developer Soh Satoh, you can enjoy a true always-on-display experience on jailbroken devices running iOS 12, and while it works best on handsets equipped with OLED displays, it should work with LCD displays too.
CoolStar teases Chimera compatibility for A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.4
If you’re on iOS 12, then there are two primary jailbreaks you can choose from: Chimera by the Electra Team or unc0ver by Pwn20wnd. Both jailbreaks are neck-and-neck with device and software compatibility, but since iOS 12.4 first became jailbroken, both parties have been hard at work to implement support for A12(X) devices.
The unc0ver jailbreak only “partially” supports A12(X) devices at the time of this writing, and full support is coming sometime in the near future, including those running iOS 12.4. Chimera, on the other hand, has lacked A12(X) support on iOS 12.1.3-12.3 (beta) and 12.4 since v1.3.0 first launched, and still lacks it to this day.
Pwn20wnd launches dedicated website for the unc0ver jailbreak
If you’ve ever used Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool to liberate a device running iOS 11 or iOS 12, then you’re probably familiar with the process of visiting the hacker’s GitHub page to find and download the latest iteration of the tool. But that’s all changing as of today, and in a very good way.
In a rather exciting turn of events, Pwn20wnd launched a brand-new website on Tuesday dubbed unc0ver.dev to host the unc0ver jailbreak tool. Pwn20wnd announced the launch of the website via Twitter just this afternoon, noting that the current and all future releases will be published there:

Keeping up with the commentariat: rewards isn’t the game that Apple Card is playing
If first Apple Card reviews are anything to go by, the new credit card from Apple is off to a great start. And to help it hit the ground running, the iPhone maker yesterday via its official YouTube channel released the inaugural ad for the Goldman Sachs-powered credit card. And just as you'd expect, that Apple Card isn't exactly about Daily Cash rewards, strong security, no fees or the elegance of the laser‑etched titanium card seems to be lost on the Apple commentariat.
