iOS’ backgrounding capabilities leave a lot to be desired, but a new jailbreak tweak dubbed TrueBackground by iOS developer tangxianhai just might be able to help.
At its very core, TrueBackground is a background manager that permits apps to continue operating even after closing them with the Home Button. For example, now you can:
If you happen to use Spotify for your music-streaming needs on your jailbroken iOS device, then you might take an interest in a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Spodinhancer by iOS developer Codey More.
If it wasn’t already evident from the name, Spodinhancer delivers a bevy of both cosmetic and functional augmentations to the Spotify app.
PrivateMessage is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Frozen Penguin that lets you lock individual message bubbles in the iPhone's stock Messages app with Touch ID.
Perfect for anyone with paranoia, this tweak can hide confidential messages from any text messaging conversation, regardless of the context or who you might be talking to.
If you cherished the concept of EqualizerEverywhere back in the day, then we think you might like a new free jailbreak tweak called EQE by iOS developer r333d.
As the developer puts it, EQE is essentially EqualizerEverywhere’s successor. Acting as an entirely system-wide parametric equalizer, EQE lets you adjust the sound output of practically any app installed on your device.
Smart home tech is one of the most exciting areas of consumer electronics, as the market continues to grow each year. HomeKit in particular has had a particularly strong 2017 with a record number of new products released.
I feel it is a good time to gather up the best, and most affordable HomeKit tech whether it is for your own home, or as a gift. Everything we've included, barring maybe one exception, comes in under $50.
Apple's new iMac Pro went on sale yesterday.
We spent most of the day talking about tidbits, such as Space Gray Magic accessories, a black version of the Lightning cable and optional upgrades, as well as major new features like the new home-grown Apple T2 chip, higher-end configurations and RAM upgrades.
The OWC mini USB-C travel dock is a handy companion to keep inside your gear bag. The hub brings USB Type-A and Type-C ports, HDMI, and even an SD card reader.
The device categories that HomeKit supports has grown in the past few years, but not all categories see the love from manufacturers. One of the most underrated categories (in my opinion) is fans. Hunter makes the only HomeKit-enabled fans that are currently available, and it slides perfectly into the HomeKit ecosystem.
Out of the box, your iPhone’s default Weather app supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit for depicting how hot or cold it is outside. While these might be two of the most popular units of measure concerning temperature, they’re certainly not the only ones.
Another unit that you don’t see very often unless you dabble in the world of science is Kelvin, and a free jailbreak tweak called 4000 Degrees Kelvin by iOS developer Sniper_GER unlocks this temperature unit throughout iOS.
After our first epic roundup of over a hundred iPhone X cases, we are back with more. We took some of your suggestions and even found some more unique options to include this time around.
Apple added support for HomeKit cameras with iOS 10, yet to date, only two cameras have hit the market with the feature. The first camera to bring support, was the D-Link Omna, and while it had a rocky start, iOS 11 brings several welcome enhancements.
Urbanears has taken their signature Plattan 2 headphones to the next level, by going wire-free with Bluetooth. They are simple and minimalistic, with surprisingly good audio, and a couple tricks up their sleeves.
