iPhone X

The best ultra-thin cases for iPhone X

Looking for a minimal or ultra-thin case for your iPhone X? iDB has you covered. We've put together a roundup of some of our favorite cases for Apple's flagship handset that are inexpensive, feature little-to-no branding, and are so thin you'll forget they're even there.

This tweak hides the notch on the iPhone X

While many iPhone X users have embraced the handset’s distinct notch, there are still tons of people who just can’t seem to get over it.

If you’re one of the latter and your iPhone X is jailbroken, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed noNotch by iOS developer Jake James might be worth checking out.

HomeBarSizer lets you resize the iPhone X’s Home Bar

Since the public release of the Electra jailbreak for iOS 11, we’ve seen a bevy of jailbreak tweaks explicitly designed for the iPhone X. Some of the most recent ones focus on the handset’s Home Bar – the bar at the bottom of the screen that you use to close apps, multitask, etc.

A new free release dubbed HomeBarSizer by iOS developer Kiran Patil is no different. As the name suggests, it will let you customize both the size and appearance of your iPhone X’s Home Bar so you can achieve the look and feel you desire.

This tweak hides the Home Bar at the bottom of the iPhone X

The iPhone X lacks a Home Button, so Apple created the Home Bar to take its place. Swiping up on the Home Bar lets users unlock their device, return home from apps, and access the App Switcher, but the Home Bar itself isn’t very aesthetically-pleasing in the long run.

Given the circumstances, a new free jailbreak tweak called ByeHomeBottomBarX by iOS developer CydiaGeek has been released in Cydia this week. As the name suggests, this tweak efficiently hides the Home Bar from view.

Saw gives your iPhone X more vertical screen real estate

The iPhone X is Apple’s latest and greatest flagship smartphone, and while I appreciate the gorgeous edge-to-edge 5.8-inch OLED display Apple put into it, iOS could unquestionably take better advantage of what the display has to offer.

As it would seem, iOS developer Frozen Penguin shared this opinion. Hence a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Saw was born.

The best wallet cases for iPhone X

Even with the success of Apple Pay, wallet cases are still an extremely popular choice for iPhone owners. They protect your handset, as well as hold your drivers license, debit/credit cards in case you can't use Apple Pay, and cash in the event all other payment methods are unavailable.

There are a lot of options out there, so we've decided to put together a roundup of what we believe are the best wallet cases for the iPhone X. We have picks for every budget and design preference, including thinner, minimal plastic wallet cases and larger, more premium leather cases.

This tweak improves the battery indicator on iPhone X

One of my biggest pet peeves since getting the iPhone X as my daily driver has been the battery level indicator in the Status Bar. I’ve always enabled the “Battery Percentage” option on all my previous iPhones, but the iPhone X’s notch doesn’t allow for that.

A new free jailbreak tweak called PercentageBatteryX by iOS developer NeinZedd9 solves this problem in the best way possible by giving iPhone X users an innovative new way to view their battery percentage.

FastUnlockX makes unlocking your iPhone X with Face ID even faster

Anyone sporting an iPhone X should be familiar with how Face ID works by now. After the handset recognizes your face, you’re required to swipe up from the bottom of the display to get to your Home screen. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could skip the second step altogether?

A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FastUnlockX by iOS developer CPDigitalDarkroom brings this idea to fruition and makes unlocking your iPhone X with Face ID a split second faster.
