Apple reportedly paid Samsung's display-making arm nearly a billion dollars as a penalty for unfulfilled orders of pricey OLED panels for iPhones in the second quarter of 2020.
Of the four new iPhones coming down the pike this all, the high-end iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max models should be equipped with displays featuring Apple's ProMotion screen-refresh technology that made its debut in the iPad Pro tablets back in 2017.
Ever since Apple first started integrating OLED display on its iPhones, starting with the iPhone X in 2017, we’ve witnessed a steady increase in the number of jailbreak tweaks attempting to bring a true always-on display experience to the platform. One of the latest attempts comes by way of respected veteran tweak developer Elias Limneos and has been aptly named Glow.
Like other always-on display tweaks before it, Glow takes full advantage of the OLED display in Apple’s high-end handsets to express true darks for the background. It simultaneously displays pertinent details such as the date, time, and battery level, along an indicator to let you know whether you’ve got any missed notifications. Best of all, it does all of this while consuming as little power as possible.
Apple designed iOS in such a way that when you don’t use your unlocked iPhone after a certain period of time, the display will start to dim before eventually falling asleep and locking entirely. Some people like this feature because it helps keep battery drain at bay during times of idle use, but if you’re interested in something different, then you may take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called attention by iOS developer woofy.
Upon installing attention, your iPhone will still automatically lock itself after a predetermined period of inactivity. The only major difference, however, is that your handset’s display will exhibit a blurred effect after a period of inactivity and right before falling asleep instead of dimming the display’s backlight.

It’s easy to change your iPhone’s volume level thanks to a duo of omnipresent volume buttons on the edge of your display. But when your iPhone’s display is too bright or dim, users are compelled to navigate touch interfaces like Control Center, which can sometimes be a challenge if the display is too dim to perceive during the brighter hours of the day.
If you ever wished that changing your iPhone’s display brightness could be as effortless as adjusting the volume, then you’ll welcome a new and free jailbreak tweak called VolumeBrightness by iOS developer Gilshahar7, as it fundamentally lets you toggle between display brightness and volume mode when using your handset’s volume buttons.
If you’ve got a jailbroken iOS device at your disposal and you’re in the market for a really cool new display experience for your iPhone, then you should probably take a few minutes to check out this new jailbreak tweak release called Photon by iOS developer cemck.
Photon appears to be a true ambient display experience for the Lock screen on iOS devices, and it displays pertinent information using a variety of different methods and in combination with existing popular Lock screen-centric tweaks such as Complications, Grupi, Jellyfish, Sylph, Xen HTML, and many others.
Love it or hate it, the iconic notch has become a common addition to the majority of Apple’s present-day smartphones starting with the iPhone X in 2017. Unfortunately, it’s part of the handset’s hardware, which means all you can do is attempt to hide the notch with a wallpaper that incorporates a black background where the notch would ordinarily appear.
But even the aforementioned wallpaper ‘hack’ only works to your benefit in certain interfaces, like the Home screen and Lock screen. It falls short in application interfaces where the wallpaper isn’t visible, and that’s a shortcoming that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed eggNotch by iOS developer Egg aka CRKatri doesn’t have.
I use Low Power Mode so often that I sometimes feel like something’s wrong when I don’t see the little yellow battery icon in my Status Bar. The point is, I like saving battery whenever I can – even when my handset isn’t low on juice. On the other hand, using Low Power Mode isn’t without its downsides.
For example, you can’t change the amount of time it takes before your handset falls asleep automatically from inactivity. But that’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called LPMAutoLockTime by iOS developer smokin1337 comes into play.
Screensavers are a standard feature on most Macs and PCs that compel the display to loop a constant motion graphic to mitigate the effects of screen burn-in. The need for screensavers isn’t as great on mobile handsets like smartphones and tablets however, since the display typically turns off automatically when it isn’t in use to preserve battery life – a constraint that wired Macs and PCs don’t need to worry about.
While you don’t really need a screensaver on your smartphone or tablet, that doesn’t mean you can’t have one regardless. Apple doesn’t allow this on their brand of mobile handsets out of the box, but if you’re jailbroken, then you can take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed SleepSaver by iOS developer iCraze to circumvent this restriction.
The only notable difference between the iPad Pros is screen size. Apple's made it easy to pick the model that suits your needs by limiting your choice to just two sizes: an eleven-inch display (2,388-by-1,668 resolution) and a 12.9-inch screen (2,732-by-2,048 resolution).
