iOS 12 beta 11, which was seeded yesterday to Apple's registered developers and members of the Apple Developer Program, finally makes it so that owners of older iPhone models without 3D Touch are able to clear all notifications at once with a simple tap and hold.
Apple is expected to adopt the iPhone X design across 2018's iPhone models, but the company is now suspected to potentially ditch the 3D Touch pressure-sensing display feature from all 2019 iPhone models with an OLED screen.

If you feel like iOS' stock Music widget leaves a lot to be desired, then you aren’t alone. In fact, iOS developer LaughingQuoll recently released a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Tractor with the intention of improving Apple’s sad excuse for a Music widget.

If you're looking to buy a low-cost iPhone, you're probably going to want to wait until the so-called iPhone SE 2 is released later this year.

Anyone with an iPhone 6s or newer can use 3D Touch gestures on their Home screen icons to access Quick Action menus with various app shortcuts. As useful as they can be, these menus can look incredibly bland on stock devices.
A new free jailbreak tweak called SB3DTouchColor by iOS developer Cole Cabral improves the aesthetic of these menus. It does so by colorizing them to match the dominant color of the respective app icon.
