With Apple likely set to at least preview the next iteration of its iOS operating system before this year is out, a new tweak called ‘Peekly’ aims to envision what the company could do to enhance the iPhone‘s lockscreen for the better going forward.
As expected, the iOS 6.1 jailbreak, “Evasi0n,” has just gone live in the last hour. The jailbreak uses an “untethered” method, which essentially means that if a user turns their device “off” and back “on,” the device will start up completely, and the kernel will then be patched without the help of a computer – (in other words, the device will be jailbroken after each reboot).
Revealing the official name of the iOS jailbreak method at the end of last month, Pod2g, Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and Pimskeks – (or the “Evad3rs,” as the group will be known going forward), will reportedly release their long-awaited, ‘untethered’ iOS 6.1 jailbreak – later today.
The official iOS 6.1.X jailbreak just got itself a name. Aptly named “Evasi0n,” the new ‘untethered’ jailbreak method will arrive courtesy of iOS software hackers Pod2g, Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and Pimskeks, and is currently expected to see its worldwide launch – this Sunday, according to iClarified.
iJailbreak this morning relays comments originally made by the iPhone hacker known as “PlanetBeing” (@PlanetBeing), citing that the jailbreaker has claimed the iOS 6.0.2 “Untethered” jailbreak method that so many in the community have been waiting on, is – in fact – finished.
iDownloadBlog’s Jeff Benjamin details this impressive tweak, (above). Back in October, you may remember we brought you a concept – (via The Verge Forums) – which depicted a new, reimagined look at Apple’s iOS app switcher. The concept was originally posted by a user called ‘Sentry,’ and showed a future vision for how the iOS app switcher may come to evolve in future iterations of the OS.
You saw this one coming, right? Yes, you can now replace Apple’s personal assistant – Siri – with Google’s newly-launched, (arguably better) “Google Now”-powered voice assistant. Well, we say replace. Siri is technically still present in the background of iOS, but a new jailbreak-available tweak – called NowNow! – aims to create the illusion that ‘Google Now’ is actually your iPhone‘s default personal assistant.
Our friends at GreekiPhone are reporting tonight that the iPad Mini has, in fact, been jailbroken. The screenshot after the fold, (which appears to show the device’s system information, alongside a password field to access the iPad Mini‘s ‘root’ directory), was originally tweeted by iOS hacker @MuscleNerd – earlier today.
