The Best Cydia Tweaks for Electra iOS 11 – 11.3.1

There are many reasons why Apple fans love to jailbreak their iOS devices, but the most important one has to be getting access to Cydia. The latest jailbreak tool available is Electra and it works on devices that run on iOS 11 – 11.3.1. With that said, we have compiled a list with the best Cydia tweaks that will run on iPads, iPods and iPhones that are jailbroken with the latest Electra tool.

Jumper

Jumper is the first tweak on our list because of the utility that it brings. Apple fans who installed Cydia on their iOS-powered device will be able to jump to an app directly from the lock screen. Moreover, Jumper is priced at $1.99.

RealCC

If you are the type of person who loves having full control over your iOS-powered device, then RealCC is the tweak you need. RealCC gives Apple fans the ability to disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi straight from the Control Center. This tweak is great because it doesn’t force Apple fans to open the Settings panel every time they want to disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In addition, RealCC is free to use.

BIOPROTECT X

BIOPROTECT X is the ideal Cydia tweak for Apple fans who care about their security. BIOPROTECT X makes it possible for users to open apps, services and software with a Touch ID or passcode, thus making the designated iOS-powered device more secure than usual. BIOPROTECT X is priced at $2.99.

NINE

Apple refreshed how the notification panel looks when it released iOS 10. However, not everyone loves the new notification panel and some wish they could go back in time and use the classic one. Fortunately, you don’t have to go back in time for that since NINE brings the old iOS 9 notification center to iOS-devices that are running on iOS 11 jailbroken firmware. Furthermore, NINE is free to use.

Facebook Messenger 179.0.0.14.71 Beta Download Available with AR Games

Even though reports are showing that Facebook is losing its popularity, the social media giant is not giving up that easy. Instagram and Snapchat are the two apps that are “stealing” users from Facebook and Facebook decided to strike back by launching a new update for the Messenger app which introduces two AR games.

Facebook Messenger 179.0.0.14.71 Beta

The latest update for Facebook Messenger has been recently released and it sports the 179.0.0.14.71 beta version number. As we can clearly tell from the update’s version number, the update is targeted towards beta testers who want to get access to Facebook’s latest features ahead of everyone else. With that said, let’s see what the new update brings.

AR Games

One of the main reasons why Snapchat and Instagram have the upper hand over Facebook is because they feature cool camera filters. Well, it looks like Facebook wants to get back into the popularity race because the new update introduces two new AR (augmented reality) games which are quite similar to what Snapchat and Instagram have to offer. Nonetheless, the two games are really fun to play and it shows us that Facebook is taking the Messenger app into the right direction.

Android Package Kit

We need to mention that this latest update is exclusive to Android users because it comes in the form of APK. APK is an acronym for “Android Package Kit” and Facebook fans who want to get access to the new AR games need to manually download and install the update. This is the case with all APK updates. In addition, Facebook fans who want the new update also need to enlist in Facebook’s beta program and to enable the “Unknown Sources” feature that can be found in the “Settings” panel.

iMac 2018 – Specs, Launch Date, Price and Everything Else You Need to Know

Today we are going to cover everything there is to know about Apple’s highly anticipated iMac 2018 starting with specs, possible launch date and ending with expected price. The topic that we will cover the most is the CPU one since that is the hardware part that matters the most. With that being said, let’s get into it.

Processor Variants

As previously mentioned, the most important piece of hardware that the upcoming iMac 2018 will have to offer is the CPU. Rumor has it that Apple is looking to make iMac 2018 available in a bunch of CPU variants which is great news because it means that Apple fans can get the iMac 2018 model that suits their needs the most.

  • The affordable version of iMac 2018 will ship with an i3-8100 or i3-8350K CPU;
  • The mid-range version of iMac 2018 will ship with a 2.8GHz i5-8400 CPU;
  • The high-end version of iMac 2018 will ship with an i7-8700 CPU that clocks at 3.2GHz.

RAM Memory

The three Coffee Lake CPUs that iMac 2018 will be available with support DDR4 memory in 2666 MHz dual-channel mode. Therefore, we expect that Apple will make iMac 2018 available in the following RAM variants: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. However, Apple might also take things to the next level and introduce a 64GB RAM model.

Expected Launch Date and Price

iMac 5 was revealed back in 2017 in June during the WWDC conference. However, Apple’s didn’t reveal iMac 2018 during this year’s WWDC conference and this leads us to believe that Apple might be planning to launch the device in September, at the same time with its next-generation iPhone models.

When it comes to price, the affordable version of iMac 2018 will cost somewhere around $1,338. The mid-range model is expected to ship with a price tag of $1,600 while the high-end model will be priced at $1,850.
