A new jailbreak tweak takes apps that haven't been updated for the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and makes them look like they actually belong on the new devices rather than appearing as if they've been cut adrift by their developers.
The Pangu team today released an update to the Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether package, pushing the patch to version 0.3, but it was pulled almost immediately because it caused issues on 64-bit devices, such as the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPad mini 2, 3 and iPad Air 1, 2.
Apple likes to build things that just work, requiring as little intervention as possible on the part of the user, and AirDrop, the company's local file-transfer service, typifies this notion. Google, Apple's main rival in the mobile industry, is apparently working on a similar feature of its own, with a number of blogs having been tipped off that a service named "Copresence" is currently in the works.
Some jailbreak tweaks are worth the hassle of jailbreaking your iPhone all on their own, and Delicious Inc's BiteSMS is one tweak that definitely falls into that category. BiteSMS has been around for a long time, and it just keeps getting better and better.
Now that there's a real iOS 8 / 8.1 jailbreak floating around for jailbreakers, attention has turned to which new tweaks are being released that take advantage of what the new version of iOS has to offer.
Apple's fingerprint unlock technology pretty much throws the Fifth Amendment right out the window. A Circuit Judge in Virginia has ruled that the Fifth Amendment does not protect fingerprints, which has raised concerns about privacy implications this will have on biometrically protected devices, including the newer iPhones and iPads.
Apple, like a number of the bigger names in the mobile industry right now, is focusing its efforts on fitness and health, integrating a number of features that will supposedly help iOS users to lead healthier and more active lives. The HealthKit infrastructure is integral to this, but while many third-party apps can aggregate iOS Health data to help us keep track of progress, this one essentially gives you a deadline for when you'll cease to exist. So, if you're feeling a bit morbid - it is, after all, Halloween - check out the details of this intriguing app after the break!
The Pangu team has delivered an untethered iOS 8 – 8.1 jailbreak when we least expected it. Having surprised us with the impromptu jailbreak for iOS 7.1.x, the Chinese team has come through with another solution for the all-new iOS 8.x. As mentioned in our initial coverage, dubbed as Pangu8, it works with iOS 8.0 all the way through to the latest iOS 8.1, and below, we'll be showing you how to jailbreak your device using the tool.
We've all, at some stage, found ourselves in the scenario where we pass our phones over to a friend, with the intent on showing them a photo or video, and they take it upon themselves to scan through the entire library. Many of us harbor snaps that we'd probably not want to share with everybody, and so when this unsolicited scanning frenzy begins, we often lean over to retrieve our devices before the worst occurs. But there is an easier way. There just so happens to be an in-built iOS feature that allows you to completely disable and enable touch browsing in a swift, convenient manner.
With Apple touting HealthKit and Google also joining the fold with Google Fit, it was inevitable that Microsoft would join the fold at some point, and having taken the wraps off its fitness-related Microsoft Band wearable, the accompanying health and fitness platform - aptly named Microsoft Health - was also launched alongside the wrist worn gadget. Designed for the Microsoft Band, there's an app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone right off the bat, and as ever, we've all of the details under one roof.
