iPhone Sleep / Power Button Broken? Lock & Shutdown Apps Have Got You Covered

I’ve seen a surprising number of people mention in forums and elsewhere recently that their iPhone Power/Sleep buttons are broken.  Always sorry to hear that - but here’s a bit of very good news for all those muddling by with busted buttons …

Today’s release of two single-purpose utilities from Hackintosh forum member XianLi - Shutdown.app and Lock.app - should prove a *big* help for anyone getting by with a crippled Power/Sleep button.

The two utilities let you turn off the iPhone or place it into sleep mode without needing to use the hardware button - and they work as advertised.

Shutdown and Lock are available now on Installer via the iClarified repository, which is: http://installer.iclarified.com/
