Jeff Benjamin ∙ July 6, 2014

How to get iOS 8 style quick reply on iOS 7

Jeff Benjamin ∙ July 5, 2014

If someone told you that six months ago that quick reply for Messages would be a feature in iOS 8, most people would probably say that it would be the headline feature for the updated OS. But Apple cranked it up a few notches, unveiling new features like Continuity and extensions, and suddenly quick reply no longer seemed like that big of a deal.

But let's face it, quick reply is still very much a big deal. In fact, it's such a wanted feature that there have been tons of jailbreak tweaks in the past that have brought some form of quick reply to the table for jailbroken users.

The latest such tweak aims to mimic the quick reply style found in iOS 8 to a close degree. Have a look at our video walkthrough past the break to see Interactive Message Notifications in action.

Aslock: add new functionality to the Spotlight search swipe gesture

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

Aslock is an interesting new jailbreak tweak that brings new functionality to the swipe-down gesture used to invoke Spotlight search. Along with being able to invoke Spotlight as you normally would, you can now access the App Switcher and lock your device using Spotlight swipe gestures.

It's the type of tweak that's a little difficult to explain in writing. With that in mind, we've created a video walkthrough so that you can see how the Aslock works in action.

Video suggests 4.7″ iPhone 6 would be optimized for one-handed use

Christian Zibreg ∙ July 3, 2014

Japanese magazine Mac Fan asserted back in October 2013 that Apple's upcoming larger-screened iPhone 6 would file as the first device with a display this large that would still be optimized for one-handed use, thanks to some smart design decisions.

And in September of last year, KGI Securities’ Ming Chi-Kuo called for a next-generation iPhone with a 4.5 to five-inch screen and designed to follow Apple's “unwavering principle of one hand use”.

Today, a new video of a purported 4.7-inch iPhone 6 front panel has surfaced giving us a good indication how the device might feel in one's hand...

How to jailbreak iOS 7.1.x with Pangu 1.1 on Windows [video]

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

The highly anticipated Pangu 1.1 update was just today released for both Windows and Mac users. Obviously, the big news here was Mac compatibility, as Mac users were left without a usable version after the initial Windows-only version of Pangu 1.1 was released.

But Windows users should be happy too, as version 1.1 of Pangu brings with it English text that makes it easier to follow along in the jailbreak process. The update also gets rid of the nefarious checkbox that allowed pirated software to be easily installed on your device.

Pangu 1.1 is a streamlined version of the original tool. If you've been on the fence about using it, then perhaps this latest update will ease your concerns. Check inside to view our step-by-step jailbreak tutorial for Pangu 1.1 on Windows.

Claimed video shows off 4.7″ iPhone 6 back part

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 26, 2014

A new video has surfaced Thursday, purportedly depicting an all-aluminum back of a forthcoming 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model.

This follows yesterday's video which compared a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 dummy to several jumbo-sized Android phones and last week's photos of an alleged 5.5-inch iPhone 6 display panel.

The back part shown off in today's video appears genuine although one can't tell for sure whether it represents a finalized design that's about to go into production or if it's one of the early prototypes that Apple may or may not have abandoned...

Video shows how 5.5″ iPhone 6 would stack up against jumbo-sized Android phones

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 25, 2014

I wish Apple put me out of my misery and released the iPhone 6 already because an influx of videos comparing those questionable dummy units to just about anything is overwhelming me. Just this morning, for example, I pointed you to a video which shows off the supposed minor changes in the next iPad's design.

Now I've decided to highlight another video that I think does a great job explaining how the bigger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 would compare to popular 5.5-inch Android handsets such as the LG G3, Oppo Find 7 and One Plus One.

It's right after the break so give it a quick watch and join us in comments for a healthy discussion...

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 25, 2014

We know that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) recently started producing a more durable Touch ID sensor set to make its way into Apple's sixth-generation full-size iPad - call it the iPad Air 2, if you will.

We're also familiar with a bunch of meticulously created dummies based on the rumor-mill reporting, having shown you several photographs that highlight minor design changes spotted on iPad Air 2 dummy units floating around out there.

And now, a high-quality video by TLDToday has arrived, showing off possible changes in the layout of the iPad Air 2's physical buttons, speaker grille and more...
