Like clockwork, jailbreakers continue to rough out the annual drought that swings around this time of the year after Apple shakes things up with new software updates and product releases.
But not all is doom and gloom in the jailbreak community, as an upcoming untether planned for release later this month has a lot of jailbreakers excited about upgrading the capabilities of their existing pwned handsets.
After jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad for the first time, it can be daunting to find the best jailbreak tweaks for upgrading its capabilities beyond the bounds of Apple’s stock configurations. At iDownloadBlog, we know this, and that’s why we try to make tweak discovery easier for our readers.
Anyone that searches the web all the time will find value in something that can make that job easier, and that’s just one reason why a newly released jailbreak tweak called DockSearch by iOS developer ginsudev could be of interest; especially if this unique categorization applies to you.
Freemium apps and games are pretty much the gold standard these days as they’ve proven to be somewhat profitable. After tossing users an addicting bone, such as a Scrabble game, those users will gnaw away even after being subjected to the same repetitive full-screen ads, move after move.
After what felt like an unending lull in the jailbreak community, things started getting kicking back up again in the past couple of weeks after a whole lot of hubbub about upcoming untether releases and reassurances that iOS & iPadOS 15 could see jailbreaks despite Apple’s best efforts to make jailbreaking harder to achieve.
When you play games on your fully-loaded gaming PC, you expect your graphics card to crank out the highest graphics at the highest frame rates for the best aesthetics. This also means having a gaming display panel that supports those high frame rates.
When it comes to smartphones, users are less picky. But the Apple’s ProMotion displays promise up to 120 frames per second under certain circumstances. So is it too much to ask to take advantage of higher frame rates when available?
Are you sick and tired of serving as a guinea pig for Apple's flawed software engineering (we're looking at you, Podcasts)? If so, then you'll be surprised to learn that App Store now finally permits people to rate and review preinstalled Apple apps for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Much of the jailbreak community’s resources, including jailbreak tweaks and themes, have migrated to smaller third-party and developer-owned repositories over the past several years. This seemed to be a direct response to the shutdown and archival of the ModMyi and MacCiti & ZodTTD repositories, and was further exacerbated by the shutdown of the Cydia Store back in 2018.
When you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, the possibilities are endless. With so many jailbreak tweaks available for seemingly every imaginable fringe use case you can think of, it can be intimidating to know where you should start if you’re just getting into the hobby for the first time.
Since jailbreaking is so deeply engrained in our blood here at iDownloadBlog, we take jailbreak tweak discovery very seriously. That’s why we curate dedicated tweak recommendation lists like this one to help our readers learn about the best jailbreak tweaks for specific facets of the iOS & iPadOS platforms.
iPhones come from the factory with a Calculator app pre-installed on them that works for most basic mathematical functions. However, one way it falls short of many dedicated handheld calculators is that it doesn’t display a running history of your math anywhere in the app.
While there’s certainly no shortage of things that you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad these days, perhaps one of my favorite things to customize is Control Center because I use it so frequently throughout the day.
Fortunately for those who agree with me, iOS developers Tr1Fecta and Kennyroo have just launched a brand new jailbreak tweak dubbed Akara that claims to give Control Center a “refreshing yet familiar” makeover.
After a crazy week for Apple that saw the official release of the iPhone 13 & iPhone 13 Pro lineup in addition to the official release of iOS & iPadOS 15, we’re excited to reflect on the fact that there are still tons of jailbreakers out there despite being on older handsets with older versions of iOS & iPadOS.
