If you like haptic feedback, then HapLock is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer smokion1337 that you won’t want to miss.
Just as the name implies, HapLock makes your handset vibrate whenever you lock it or unlock it.
If you make and receive phone calls on a regular basis, then you may have something to gain by installing a new free jailbreak tweak called LetMeKnow by iOS developer Kiran Patil.
LetMeKnow provides iPhone users with an ounce of haptic feedback whenever a phone call connects or disconnects. It works regardless of which party disconnects the call, and it can prevent you from having to plaster your phone to your face until someone picks up your outgoing calls.
Anyone with a jailbroken iOS 10 device presumably avoids the power down menu because of their semi-untethered jailbreak. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak called BetterPowerMenu iOS developer Huub Lubbers can change that.
The tweak makes two significant changes to the power down menu, such as adding a respring button and supplying customization options so that you have more control over how the interface looks and feels.
One of the things we see a lot of in the jailbreak community are tweaks that bring haptic feedback to the iPhone, and a new free release called Erie by iOS developer Sniper_GER follows in these footsteps.
While most tweaks along these lines bring haptic feedback by way of screen taps, Erie takes a different approach by imposing haptic feedback whenever you press a button on your device.
I give credit where credit is due, and I'd have to say Twitter’s official app is a solid way to use Twitter on the iOS platform. Nonetheless, there are still a few ways it could be enhanced, and jailbreak developers are continuously exploring ways to do just that.
With a new free jailbreak tweak entitled HapticTwitter by iOS developer Squ1dd13, you can introduce a bevy of new haptic feedback triggers to the official Twitter app.
Apple's 3D Touch technology uses an additional layer of 96 pressure sensors to detect when you press the display, simulating a click feel by vibrating the phone's built-in Taptic Engine.
Apple’s latest line of MacBook Pros sports an OLED Touch Bar just above the physical keyboard. The point of the Touch Bar is to offer a dynamic, programmable strip that acts as both an extension of your keyboard and an auxiliary input device for select apps on your Mac.
As incredible as the Touch Bar is, one feature that Apple seemed to skim across when designing it was haptic feedback.
Don't like it when your iPhone vibrates every time you receive a new email? Me neither! So, in this post, I will show you how to turn off vibrations for incoming emails on your iPhone.
The irresponsibly leaked iOS 11 Gold Master build is a gift that keeps on giving, but tvOS 11 has its own secrets as well, with latest discoveries pointing to a refreshed Siri Remote in tow for a fifth-generation Apple TV model to be called “Apple TV 4K”.
Fast Company is out with a new report that basically reiterates what Barclays and KGI Securities said before: that Apple's OLED iPhone will actually feature two 3D sensors, one on the front and the other out the back. In addition, the device could feature completely waterproof buttons on its side that respond with haptic feedback.
According to the publication's sources, the rear 3D sensor will help iPhone 8 provide improved camera autofocus and enhanced augmented reality features, likely stemming from even more accurate object tracking and better depth detection in ARKit-powered apps.
Like the front-facing 3D sensor, the rear one is said to use a vertical-cavity surface-emitting (VSCEL) laser system that also includes a lens, a detector sensor and a dedicated chip. The VCSEL system would map objects in 3D by calculating the distance the light travels from the laser to the target and back to the sensor, using so-called time-of-flight measurement.
Suppliers Lumentum, Finisar and II-VI will reportedly be providing the VCSEL lasers for the device. STMicro, Infineon or AMS should provide the time-of-flight sensor. Apple could buy the whole modular system from either LG Innotek, STMicro, AMS or Foxconn, added the source.
The system costs about $2 per phone, as per the publication.
The laser-based sensor will also enable a faster and more accurate autofocus than the phase detection autofocus used on current iPhones. That's because the dedicated rear 3D sensor will determine precise object depth by measuring the time it takes the laser light beams to bounce off objects and return to the sensor.
This will let iPhone 8 focus the camera lens on the desired object in milliseconds. Laser autofocus systems are already used in phones from Google, Huawei, OnePlus and Asus.
For years, the only way you would’ve had a haptic keyboard on your iPhone is if you jailbroke your device. Fortunately, it seems as through the days of yore are over.
A new third-party keyboard just launched in the App Store that appears to be capable of providing satisfying haptic feedback as you type on your iPhone.
The haptic feedback trend continues with the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called Harp by iOS developer candoizo.
This tweak generates a soft 'buzz' in your hand whenever you interact with your iPhone’s music controls from your Now Playing interfaces in Control Center or on the Lock screen.
