• Any ideas on how to extract old photos from iPhone5?

  I've had success with this one in the past, there are others if you search: https://macroplant.com/iexplorer. Source: 6 months ago

• Transferring music off of an iPhone to another device?

  On Windows, there is a tool you can download called iExplorer by Macroplant. It's 40$ for a license, but the free demo let's you do up to 10 songs at a time. Hope this helps anyone! Source: about 1 year ago

• [HELP] I used to have jailbreak, and I got the thing to prevent updates, now my phone is updated to 15.5 and I constantly get the error "Unable to check for system update"

  I honestly haven't done anything like that in a minute. You can try iMazing, that would be my first choice. If not, maybe iExplorer, iBackupBot, or iPhoneBackupExtractor. All of these will let you edit the backup, I just don't know which will let you browse the whole file system so you can clear out that specific folder. Hope this helps. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Need help capturing long text message conversation for printing

  IExplorer works really well for Iphone. It backs up the entire phone and allows you to explore the backup files individually and you can export full text message chain to PDF. It does cost a nominal fee, but I've found that it works well enough to be worth it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

  AltStore (https://altstore.io/) is available, but only has two apps last time I checked. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• A first look at Europe's alternative iPhone app stores

  AltServer from the AltStore folks allows you to automate the renewal of sideloaded apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s an excellent workaround. http://altstore.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• More options for apps distributed in the European Union

  That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.) Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Is it possible to build React Native for iOS without a Mac?

  See: https://altstore.io/ 2 apps, re-sign weekly maximum. 3 if you do it without AltStore. Unlimited with a $99/yr developer account. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Do I need to get out the soldering-iron again? (2018)

  I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
