One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout.

The first thing you see whenever you unlock your iPhone or iPad and begin using it is the Home Screen. This is the part of your device that acts as the springboard into your favorite apps and user experiences.

One of the key features of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia is the ability to remotely control your iPhone from your Mac. But what if we told you that you did not need to update and lose your jailbreak to enjoy this functionality?
Every single week, the iDB team works tirelessly to bring its readers the iPhone & iPad jailbreak-oriented news they deserve. But we know people get busy throughout the week, which is why we make an easy-to-digest roundup every Sunday.
As a jailbreak tweak tester, it’s not uncommon for me to experience what many jailbreakers would describe as a respring loop after installing a buggy or conflicting add-on. While it can be a major inconvenience, the good news is that respring loops are generally easy to recover from.
With Control Center being one of the most-used interfaces throughout the iOS user experience, it should come as no surprise that we see jailbreak tweak developers trying to make it more convenient for end users.
