One of the significant distinctions separating the iOS experience on the iPad from the iPhone is the inclusion of various multitasking features like Slide Over and Split View.
Apple typically bars iPhone users from accessing these features out of the box because of their limited screen real estate. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Medusafied by iOS developer Sniper_GER can change that.
Whether you have some ambiance lighting on your patio, or an entire holiday light showcase on your house, iDevices outdoor HomeKit switch allows you to control them with ease. The weatherproof box allows you to schedule, automate, gather energy insights, and use Siri from your phone to manage all of your outdoor lighting.
Whenever you attach an iOS device to a power source to charge your battery, you receive feedback letting you know that the power connection succeeded. iPads and iPod touches provide audible feedback, but iPhones can provide both audible and vibratory feedback.
While these types of feedback can be useful in several scenarios, everyone knows that two sides exist to every story. With that in mind, PowerLess is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer CydiaGeek that disables all power connection feedback entirely.
Cydia isn’t quite bustling right now, but we’ve seen some exciting activity in the community recently by way of semi-jailbreaks and exploits that could potentially lead to something exciting on iOS 11 in the future. While there’s no guarantee of anything special coming out of it, we can still cross our fingers and hope for the best.
Whether current versions of iOS will receive a jailbreak or not continues to baffle the best of us, but those sporting iOS 10 devices jailbroken with Yalu can still enjoy all of Cydia's latest releases. In this roundup, we’ll talk about our favorite jailbreak tweaks launched during the past week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and outline the rest of them afterward.

There is something almost addicting about the subtle haptic vibration that comes from the iPhone's Taptic Engine. It appeals to the same part of the brain as popping bubble wrap.

Oodles of people are preparing for the upcoming holidays right about now, and jailbreakers can do the same by taking advantage of a new free jailbreak tweak called Snoverlay by iOS developer leftyfl1p.

I routinely use the Camera app on both my iPhone and iPad, but between the two, I prefer the look and feel of the Camera interface on the iPad.

Sphero's remote control BB-8 was easily the most popular toy that debuted on "Force Friday" preceding the movie, but today we are going to go hands-on with the Special Edition Battle-worn version of BB-8 and the Force Band.
As an avid Apple Watch user, I was excited to learn about a jailbreak tweak dubbed LockWatch by iOS developer Sniper_GER, which ports several of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the Lock screen of jailbroken devices.
LockWatch continues to undergo development as of this writing, but it’s a fascinating to check the time on your iPhone precisely as you would when glancing at your wrist. Furthermore, the tweak supports both analog and digital watch faces, to provide options for those with personal preference.
Most people take their virtual privacy seriously, and a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PhotosLock by iOS developer Ian enforces this rule of thumb for any jailbreakers that might fall under this category.
As you might have inferred from the tweak’s name already, PhotosLock lets you lock your Photos app with an independent passcode. Acting as a second layer of security, it hides your personal photos from prying eyes.
