All eyes right now are understandably on Apple and its impending announcement of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but those of you who won’t be upgrading may be looking to add a little extra functionality to your existing iPhones running the jailbreak-friendly iOS 9.3.3 firmware, and jailbreaking is one way of doing exactly that.
When you do jailbreak, you will need to know exactly which tweaks to download from Cydia and which to avoid, and that’s not always something that easy to decide.
Thankfully, there are handy resources that give you a good place to start and we like to think that our monthly and weekly lists of the best new jailbreak tweaks to check out on Cydia are a good jumping off point, and with September now very much underway, we have a new collection to get you started.
Let’s get right into it, shall we? There are 18 best newly released jailbreak tweaks to check out in our September 2016 edition. So without any further delay, here are all of them that you can try on any iOS 9.3.3-based jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch device.
