jailbreak

As with the race to get App Store apps updated for iOS 8, jailbreak developers are also still working to get their tweaks ready for the new mobile operating system. Again, just like App Store developers, some have been quicker to get updates out than others and that's not always through a lack of effort. Some tweaks just need some work to get right.

Those behind the great tweaks gracing Cydia are certainly creative, talented, and dedicated enough to ensure that the jailbreak scene continues to thrive. Ryan Petrich has authored a number of tweaks and mods, having been an active member of the community for as long as most can remember, and with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both offering the usual assortment of exclusive features, Petrich has ensured that those on other devices are not left out.

Mobile devices bring a wealth of functionality to our fingertips, but whilst we can get a lot done on a smartphone or tablet, our beloved gadgets can also enhance the potential of our other most cherished electronics. Streaming and file sharing are great examples of how modern hardware and software can work in tandem, but while both are possible through Apple's mobile products courtesy of features native to iOS and OS X, tethering can be a bit of a funny one. Should you be willing to take the leap and jailbreak, though, you could quite easily turn your iOS device into a hotspot operating on your terms, and one of the most popular tethering tweaks has just been updated for iOS 8.

The jailbreak scene has been inundated with several awesome new tweaks since the Pangu team came through with its universal untether for those running the all-new iOS 8 / 8.1 software. From brand-new ideas to swift updates of old favorites like f.lux, we've not been short of options since Cydia waltzed back into our lives, and now, you can further enhance functionality by means of a tweak that allows you to alter the native resolution of your iPhone.
