Apple updates Music Memos app with notch support

In January of 2016, Apple launched an app called Music Memos. It allowed musicians and other creatives to capture song ideas quickly.

New report sheds light on apps sending information back to tracking services

App Store teaser

Allowing applications on devices to collect some data is a standard expectation these days. Permissions are meant to let users know what they are collecting, why they need it, and should give the user the power to say no if they so choose. However, some apps use a built-in feature within iOS to take advantage of data collection and send that information to tracking services.

Citigroup pulled out of Apple Card over fear it couldn’t earn an ‘acceptable profit’

Apple sees the Apple Card, its own-branded credit card, as a way for owners to reach a path to positive "financial health". The card has many specific customer-centric features, most of which go against the standard credit card -- which angle more towards a bank's wellbeing, rather than the customer.

Hidden Cam snaps a selfie when someone enters your passcode incorrectly

If you’re like me, then you probably don’t appreciate it when someone grabs your iPhone and tries to guess your passcode. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called Hidden Cam by iOS developer Baw Apple can help you determine who’s doing this when you aren’t looking.

Hidden Cam works by snapping a selfie every time your passcode gets entered incorrectly. This method is incredibly efficient because it won’t use any system resources if your passcode or biometric authentication succeeds.

A-Font: A font-customization tweak with support for A12(X) devices

One of the coolest things you can do with a jailbroken device is to change the system font to something a bit more exotic than what you’d typically observe on a stock handset. But not all font-swapping tweaks support Apple’s latest A12(X) handset varieties.

Here to help with the dilemma above is a new free jailbreak tweak release called A-Font by iOS developer Baw Apple.

BinaryPasscode replaces your passcode buttons with binary-centric dots

It was only yesterday that we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called CodeScrambler 12, which randomized the positions of the number keys on your Lock screen’s passcode entry screen. But while we’re on the topic of obfuscating the passcode entry screen, why not check out a new free release dubbed BinaryPasscode by iOS developer eskimo_dev?

As shown in the before and after screenshot examples above, BinaryPasscode replaces the typical numbers that appear inside each of the passcode entry buttons with binary-centric dot patterns. BinaryPasscode should look familiar if you’ve ever used a similar tweak such as BinaryKeypad before.
