After selling my performance Windows PC to a buddy of mine, I decided it was time to trade up from the 14-inch MacBook Pro I had to a more powerful 16-inch MacBook Pro, and my decision was made even more concrete when my need coincided with the release of Apple’s new M4 Pro/Max line of MacBook Pros at the end of October.
In this guide, I’ll explore 18 iPhone and iPad features I’d love to see on my MacBook to enhance the desktop experience and boost productivity.
Whether you’re new to iPhone jailbreaking or you’re a seasoned iPhone jailbreaker, you’ve undoubtedly heard all the catch phrases of the jailbreak deniers, either claiming “jailbreaking is dead” or suggesting a “switch to Android.” But amid all these opinions, there are important reasons why jailbreaking remains today.
Perhaps the best way that iPhone owners can add a touch of personalization to their handset is by changing the wallpaper on their device. This could be the Home Screen’s wallpaper or the Lock Screen’s wallpaper, but in either case, there are jailbreak tweaks that can make this experience even more exhilarating.
When Apple introduced the AirTag back in 2021, it changed the way we think about mobile tracking devices. Rather than using a cellular or GPS signal directly, AirTag utilizes a hybrid Bluetooth and ultra-wideband signal over a Peer-to-Peer network consisting of other Apple devices to triangulate its exact location and report it back to you. This allows AirTag to be extremely power efficient.
One of the things you might discover when trying to find a jailbreakable iPhone or iPad for your personal enjoyment is that if you haven’t preserved a device on the lowest possible firmware yourself, then coming across one can be somewhat of a challenge, especially in this day and age when the jailbreak community seems to be several firmware iterations behind Apple.
One of the things that we like to do here at iDownloadBlog is keep our readers apprised about the latest jailbreak tweaks that can make their pwned handsets more powerful or more fun to use.
Of all the different ways that you can tinker with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, perhaps one of the most fun ways is to add a bit of novelty to your device by introducing user interface add-ons that make your device more exciting to look at on the daily.
Jailbreak tweaks aren’t always utilitarian or specifically made for a purpose. Sometimes they’re designed by developers, tongue-in-cheek, because those developers want to incite laughter among iPhone owners or get more people talking about jailbreaking.
Most people regard the iPhone as one of the most accessible mobile devices out there, and this is because Apple puts a lot of time and effort into its user interface design so make it as easy to use as humanly possible. That said, it astounds me that jailbreak tweak developers always find ways to improve on it.
Jailbreaking has been a beloved hobby of mine since iOS 3, and in that timeframe, there would almost always be a new jailbreak release shortly after Apple came out with a new firmware update in the Fall months. Fast-forward to modern times, and it seems we’re waiting ever so longer for jailbreaks to release, and lots of jailbreakers want to know why.
When it comes to iPhone cases, everyone tends to gravitate toward the same general brands. Because of this, it’s easy for one person to have the same case as someone else. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I also believe there are people out there who enjoy standing out and making a statement for themselves. For these people, a one-of-a-kind case is a better option.
