Much of the jailbreak community is waiting in suspense after Apple officially released iOS & iPadOS 15 near the end of September, and this has certainly had an impact on the frequency of jailbreak related news and releases as well.
Still, with jailbreaking being a substantial amount of what we do here at iDownloadBlog, we like to keep the ball rolling despite the apparent lull.
In this roundup, we’ll go over all the latestjailbreak tweakreleases and jailbreak-centric news from this past week. As usual, we’ll start with a brief overview of our favorite releases and then outline everything else afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
Acies – $1.50
Aciesis a jailbreak tweak that gives users a redesigned Now Playing interface on the Lock Screen.
With its slick aesthetics and modified user controls, jailbreakers will have just one more thing to attract the attention of the unjailbroken.
You can learn all about Acies and how it worksin our full review post.
Touchbar – $1.00
For less than the price of a hamburger at McDonald’s, you can use a jailbreak tweak calledTouchbarto get a MacBook Pro-inspired Touch Bar experience on your jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
With Touchbar, useful controls such as media, display brightness and volume controls are never more than a tap away. Users can also enjoy Siri and screenshot shortcuts, among other things, and then dismiss the interface when they don’t need it.
