Imagine having 30+ app icons in your iPhone dock, and being able to view them all at the same time and easily launch them all with no issues. This is what life is like while using Harbor—a new jailbreak tweak that brings one of the best OS X-inspired dock experiences that I've seen thus far on jailbroken iPhones.
The launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus brought autofocus ability to the stock Camera app while recording video. This was a feature that many iPhone users clamored for, and when it was finally unveiled with the iPhone 6, it was met with a positive response.
Unfortunately, video autofocus was to be exclusive to the newer devices, and wouldn't be retroactively added to older devices like the iPhone 5s via iOS 8. But that all changed today when a new jailbreak tweak called AFVideo was released. This tweak brings video autofocus to older jailbroken devices running iOS 8.
Vine, a short video-sharing service Twitter acquired in 2011, today announced a brand new iPhone app aimed at children. Dubbed Vine Kids, it utilizes animated characters, to let kids watch videos that the company deems appropriate for a young audience.
The idea for an app apparently came after one of Vine team members realized how much his two-year-old daughter enjoyed watching funny Vines.
The team then set out to create an iOS app that would act as a safe place for children to enjoy funny Vines without being exposed to, you know, adult or otherwise questionable content that people share on the service.
SBRotator for iOS 8 is a new tweak for well-respected developer Elias Limneos. It lends the ability to rotate any iOS 8 device on the Home screen SpringBoard and the Lock screen. If you're looking to add iPhone 6 Plus-like Home screen rotation to your iPhone, then SBRotator for iOS 8 is up to the task.
If you've been around jailbreaking for any decent amount of time, then you're no doubt familiar with Gridlock—a jailbreak tweak that allowed you to arrange Home screen icons with spaces in between them. Anchor, a new jailbreak tweak that just recently appeared on Cydia, takes this basic premise and brings it to iOS 8.
Tuesday, Snapchat announced a new feature called Discover which highlights curated stories from Snapchat's different editorial teams.
Snapchat is moving to become a media platform so they've partnered with some of the major names in media like the ESPN, Vice and CNN to build a storytelling format which puts the narrative first.
“This is not social media” nor is it aboutwhat’s most new and trending, remarked the firm in a blog post. No, sir — Snapchat believes in curation and high-quality content so “We count on editors and artists, not clicks and shares, to determine what’s important.”
BannerBuddy is a recently released jailbreak tweak that lets iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users lower banner notifications with Reachability.
