Twitter’s official app supports a feature called Night Mode that can give the app a dark-colored makeover on demand; but compared to some other apps, this ‘dark mode’-esque feature leaves a lot to be desired.
Fortunately, iOS developer Chloeeisoaky recognized these shortcomings and responded to them with the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called TwitterDarkMode.
LCD technology is one of the ways Apple differentiates more affordable iPhones from flagship models. If the latest report is anything to go by, the Cupertino company is prepping to getting rid of LCD screens and transition its smartphone lineup to OLED-only models in 2020.
The Wall Street Journal on Friday reported that it has learned from people familiar with Apple's roadmap that the company plans on releasing three new iPhone models in 2019, with a refreshed iPhone XS Max picking up a triple-lens setup out the back and a second-generation iPhone XR gaining two rear cameras instead of one.
iPhone models that Apple will introduce in 2019 are understood to incorporate a touch-sensing module into the OLED screen itself, allowing the upcoming handsets to potentially become somewhat thinner and lighter, according to a new supply chain report.
While the Mac received an official dark mode option in macOS Mojave, iOS wasn’t so fortunate. You can use the Smart Invert feature on your iPhone to achieve a similar effect, but it’s not a real dark mode in the sense of what many would like to have.
Luckily, the jailbreak community conceived a plethora of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks in recent memory that can help, and a new free release called DarkTables by iOS developer dpkg_ is no exception.
Although Apple advertises in support documents and elsewhere on its website that the new iPhone XR series features HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, these colorful smartphones in reality do not have a display compliant with the high dynamic range (HDR) specification.
If you’re looking for a new way to receive notifications from your favorite apps, then you might take an interest in a new jailbreak tweak called ShortLook by iOS developers Ayden Panhuyzen, Jamie Bishop, Justin Proulx, and Jose Hernandez.
ShortLook represents your incoming notifications with a fresh coat of paint. While they’d typically appear as banners on your Lock screen, ShortLook depicts them as customizable glyphs that are then centered on a black or transparent background.
By now, almost everyone would agree that the stock volume HUD on iOS is complete and utter garbage. There have been countless jailbreak tweak releases over the years that attempted to remedy this problem, but Ultrasound by iOS developer Ayden Panhuyzen is one of the best we’ve seen thus far.
As shown above, Ultrasound is a minimalist volume HUD replacement that appears at the top left of the display rather than smack-dab in the middle as it usually would out of the box. It’s not much larger than the iPhone X’s notch itself, so if you’re watching videos, it won’t interfere very much.
That massive 6.5-inch OLED panel adorning a 256-gigabyte edition of the new iPhone XS Max amounts to nearly one-fifth of the phone's total bill of materials, according to estimates by TechInsights in their teardown of the handset.
The 6.5-inch custom-built OLED panel in Apple's new iPhone XS Max has earned the “Best Smartphone Display Award” with near perfect calibration and performance, according to display testing and calibration experts over at DisplayMate Technologies.
Apple unveiled two flagship handsets at the September 12th event, subtly named the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max, with the former being a 5.8-inch model just like the previous-generation iPhone X and the latter being a 6.5-inch model for those who prefer larger displays.
In this piece, we’ll outline the under-the-hood specs that come standard on the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max models:
The iPhone X’s OLED display and ‘notch’ paved the way for Apple to get creative with incoming notification alerts. But as usual, Apple didn’t go all out; incoming notifications look just about the same on the iPhone X as they do on any other iOS handset.
But a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Notchification by iOS developer c1d3r can change that, as it compliments your iPhone X’s notch and OLED display combo with a bevy of attractive new notification animations that are sure to catch your eye.
