Oh, people that still call other people… Don’t you know by now that no one calls anyone? Text me, email me, even ping me on Twitter, but actually dial me? Hold the phone. The only time I should ever get a phone call, is if whatever it is that needs to be said, is seriously time sensitive –as in if you don’t know right this minute, it’s going to mess something up. Maybe you’re coming up to the exit on the freeway you think you’re supposed to turn and need to confirm before you pass it? Fine. You’re standing in line to buy

This week I have another jailbreak tweak I thought was fun, and it may be old, but it was just recently made to work with the latest version of iOS and it’s a good one so figured it was worth rehashing. iFile is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to do something unheard of on an iPhone –look at your own files. Crazy, I know, but Apple has never allowed iPhone users to look at the files on their phones (even though it’s okay on a Mac?). Not sure the reasoning behind it, but regardless (thanks to iFile) you don’t have to

Our jailbreak tweak this week is one made especially for iPhone’s of the larger screen variety –namely the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Reason being that it’s meant to make better use of the reachability feature found on these versions of the iPhone. Reachability, if you aren’t aware, is a feature Apple added to the newer iPhones to allow you to be able to still reach the top of the phone’s screen if you only have one hand free. You just double-tap (without clicking, by the way) on the home button to get the entire view in the screen to slide

The control center on your iPhone is that semi-transparent shade that you can pull up from the bottom of your screen. Introduced in iOS 7, it’s a handy little thing if we’re honest. You can use it to control your current music player without having to open the actual app, use it to turn on the back light to find your keys, and use it to toggle on and off things like Wi-Fi, auto-rotate, do not disturb, and more. But, let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement and thanks to a jailbreak tweak called CCSettings, that improvement comes in

Swirling, cubing, fading, any animation you can think of can now be applied to your homescreens on your iPhone thanks to a jailbreak tweak called Barrel. While Barrel isn’t a new tweak, it was recently updated to work with the latest version of iOS and it’s definitely worth mentioning yet again. You can download Barrel from Cydia for $2.99 and after its installed you simply open the app, tap the different animation you’d like to use and, from then on, whenever you swipe left or right on the homescreen of your iPhone, your icons won’t do their normal (see: boring)
