Last Drops 10 lets you bypass your iPhone’s auto-shutdown at critical battery levels

Apple pre-configures iPhones to automatically shut down when the battery level dips below a certain percentage, but many users find this feature more interruptive and bothersome than It’s worth.

With a new free jailbreak tweak called Last Drops 10 by iOS developer Ilia Kambarov, you can make use of every ounce of power stored in your battery; even during those critical moments when your battery hovers around ~1%.

Apple says a software glitch caused the snow problems at its Chicago store

A few days ago it was reported that Apple's flagship store in Chicago had dangerously began dropping snow and ice on visitors, causing surrounding areas to be closed off.

The roof of the store had been designed to look like the top of a MacBook, complete with Apple logo. When the story started spreading, the consensus was that this was just a poorly thought design by Apple. That the architects simply... forgot to think about winter. In Chicago.

This tweak enables Kelvin support in the Weather app and more

Out of the box, your iPhone’s default Weather app supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit for depicting how hot or cold it is outside. While these might be two of the most popular units of measure concerning temperature, they’re certainly not the only ones.

Another unit that you don’t see very often unless you dabble in the world of science is Kelvin, and a free jailbreak tweak called 4000 Degrees Kelvin by iOS developer Sniper_GER unlocks this temperature unit throughout iOS.

This tweak puts a temperature indicator in the Status Bar

Recent iterations of iOS have made it easier to get to weather information at a glance, but if you want a faster update as to the temperature outside without having to open interfaces, then try a new jailbreak tweak called WeatherStatusBar10 by iOS developer HiDaN.

As the name suggests, this tweak puts the weather temperature right in your Status Bar. This information appears on the right side, just to the left of the battery indicator.

How to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit on your iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices

Your Apple devices provide a global setting for representing specific quantities of temperature in apps. You can switch between displaying the temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Apps that support this feature, including Apple's stock Weather app, honor this setting to display the temperature in your preferred unit regardless of your regional settings.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to easily switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit independently of your other regional settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, as well as adjust this setting on other Apple devices, such as your Apple TV, Apple Watch, or Mac.

TransparentWeather makes your Home screen wallpaper visible in the Weather app

The background in your iPhone's Weather app typically illustrates what the weather conditions are like outside, but if you’re looking for something a little different, check out a new free jailbreak tweak called TransparentWeather by CydiaGeek.

This tweak does away with the animated weather background and makes the app transparent so you can see a ghosted image of your Home screen wallpaper behind all of your weather information.

Add a Moon phase indicator to the Status Bar with this tweak

One of the features that comes standard on the Apple Watch that doesn’t come on the iPhone is Moon phase tracking. This lets you keep track of the Moon, whether it’s getting a full or new Moon, or anything in between.

If you've always wished your iPhone could do this too, you can use a new jailbreak tweak called MoonPhase by rainwolf. This will add a new icon to the right of the time in the Status Bar that reflects upon the current Moon phase.
