With iOS 7, Apple decided that it would take a more personal approach to names. You may have noticed it yourself. You receive an iMessage or a plain text message for example, and in the message conversation you notice that the name is displayed as just the sender's first name, rather than their full name. Which is fine, so long as you only have one person that you converse with that has that name.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Now that the Evasi0n7 jailbreak is starting to mature and Saurik's Cydia Substrate (formally known as MobileSubstrate) has been updated to support the latest version of iOS, we're starting to see everyone's favorite tweaks and apps get updates that make them compatible with everything that has gone on over the last week or two. Some we've been waiting for more than others, and now three of the most requested updates have arrived.
Nintendo's Wii was a roaring success, at least for the first few years of its life. Sell-outs the world over and an ability to draw so-called non-gamers into a market that was previously dominated by hardcore fans had Nintendo's coffers overflowing. When it came time to put the Wii out to pasture and replace it with something a little more modern, the Wii U was created.
Want to speed up iOS 7 on your iPhone? Here we're going to cover five jailbreak tweaks that could, potentially at least, help to speed up iOS 7 on that iPhone or iPad that you tote around. Hopefully you won't be waiting for things to happen or apps to load anymore.
With the arrival of iOS 7 it's an undeniable fact that Apple changed the way our iPhones, iPads and iPod touches look in a pretty major way. Whether you like the more colorful, more flat and more playful aesthetic or not, there's no doubt that the hardware in your hand may have stayed the same, but the software is all-new.
Just when you think that the whole NSA situation can't get a lot worse, somehow it blows up and somehow takes things to a new level. And now, we're hearing that the NSA can reportedly gain almost complete access to an iPhone remotely following installation of a software implant.
If you've been holding off jailbreaking your iPad 2 on iOS 7 because of boot loop issues with that particular device and the latest Evasi0n7 jailbreak from Evad3rs then we have some good news; today's your lucky day.
As Apple has grown iOS into the thing we all use on our iPhones, iPads and iPod touches today, therAs Apple has grown iOS into the thing we all use on our iPhones, iPads and iPod touches today, there's one problem that the software engineers in Cupertino have yet been either unable, or unwilling to tackle. It's a problem that we've all been screaming about for far too long, and one that plenty of jailbreak tweaks have already fixed in their own, special way.
Apple's '12 Days of Gifts' initiative is in full swing, and while some people may have been disappointed with some of the apps, movies and music that have been on offer for free by the folks in Cupertino, we're supremely confident that the latest offering to be dangled in front of customers will be extremely well received.
Having a device that becomes obsolete is just no fun at all. Having an old device that doesn't run the latest versions of the software is bad enough, but not being able to even give the new stuff a try is a real pain in the neck. Plenty of us have old iPhones sat in drawers that could be repurposed for all kinds of things, but chances are they've not got iOS 6 on them,let alone iOS 7.
