37 new jailbreak tweaks released in this jam-packed week

Wow, what a week!

These are the words I said to myself after I finished listing all the new tweaks that were released this past week in Cydia. And there were some pretty original and useful tweaks too, but you be the judge of that.

If you haven't had time to catch up with Cydia this week, then this list will give you a quick overview of what was released, along with a short description and the price of each tweak. My guess is, you'll be busy testing a lot of them out this weekend.

26 new jailbreak tweaks to beef up your iPhone this week

Last year is so 2014! All sarcasm apart, last year was pretty fruitful in terms of tweak releases that were powered by not only the complete makeover of iOS 7, but also by the fact that 2014 saw the release of several different jailbreaks for two different software versions. It was a busy year indeed, which made it even harder for us to handpick the best jailbreak apps and tweaks of 2014.

If this first week of 2015 is any indication of the future, we might have another good year ahead of us in terms of tweaks. Of course, we'll be there to highlight some of our favorites as they are released and updated, starting with these 26 new tweaks that were released on the default repos this week.

30 new and updated jailbreak tweaks to check out before the holidays

Ho ho ho! We're just days away from Christmas now, and it looks like Santa Claus already stopped by and dropped a bunch of gifts in the form of tweaks. Alright, I'll admit this is a terrible intro but I needed to tie it in with Christmas somehow.

This past week was again quite a fruitful one in terms of jailbreak tweak releases as we count no less than 28 new tweaks. That's at least what I have found out, but as I said before, this list is by no means a comprehensive one, as I'm sure a few tweaks here and there might have gone unnoticed. If that's the case, make sure to share what tweak I forgot in the comment section.

38 new and updated jailbreak tweaks worth a look at

These last seven days marked another solid week of worthy jailbreak tweaks releases and updates, and as you know, Cydia isn't necessarily a great place to discover what's new or what's been updated... which is why we've come up with this weekly wrapup of new and updated jailbreak tweaks.

Each tweak comes with a short description of what it actually does, as well as the price and a link to our post on iDB if we covered the tweak in question. Of course this is not a one hundred percent comprehensive list, so some tweaks might be missing, which is where you come in: if you see a tweak that was updated or released that is not on this list, simply add it up in the comments section.

We do provide an ongoing coverage of what we believe are the most interesting jailbreak tweaks, but because of the sheer amount of releases and updates, we unfortunately can't write about each of them, hence this round up that provides a quick look at what's new and what's been updated in Cydia.

A roundup of new and updated jailbreak tweaks for iOS 8

We've now been had a jailbreak for iOS 8 for several weeks and while while not all tweaks have been updated yet for Apple's latest mobile software, many of them already have. Even better, we've started to see some brand new jailbreak tweaks, some of them even taking advantage of the new software and hardware features found in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

While developers still have plenty of work to do updating their old tweaks, we can already enjoy many of them. If you're not sure what's new and what's been updated in Cydia recently, we have a roundup that should bring you up to speed.

Early iPad Air 2 reviews praise display, performance

Right after its iPad event on Thursday, Apple gave a select group of journalists early access to its two new tablets— the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3—for early review. Tonight, a number of those reviews hit the web, offering up initial feedback on the two devices.

Reviews for the new iPad mini seem pretty dull, given how similar it is to its predecessor, but reviewers had some interesting things to say about the iPad Air 2. So, as usual, we've rounded up some excerpts from Air 2 reviews to give you an idea of the consensus.
