The holiday season is almost through, and this year, the jailbreak community has been treated to the best gift imaginable by way of untethered jailbreaks for both iOS 7 and the latter versions of iOS 6.1.x. With many of you having already opened up your device to the world of tweaks and apps otherwise unobtainable at stock level, the updates are arriving thick and fast, and in the latest, iFile version 2.0.0-1 has been pushed.
Motion tracking technology has seen something of a boom in the consumer market in recent times, and not only have we seen products like the Nike FuelBand take the market by storm, but mobile devices have also proven themselves to be worthy accompaniments to the fitness-conscious. With the right app and solid hardware, a smartphone can make for a very useful activity-tracker, and Fitbit for iOS latest app update aims to achieve exactly that with your iPhone 5s.
The wait for jailbreak is over. If you have still been rocking iOS 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or 6.1.5, the P0sixspwn untethered jailbreak is out today. It supports all devices running on the above mentioned firmware. The tool though is currently only available for Mac OS X users. Windows users will have to wait for a while before they can jailbreak their devices.
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.
Sometimes, especially when a new jailbreak is released after a big iOS refresh, some people need what they feel to be a good reason to get back into the jailbreaking world. They've almost become accustomed to the way their device works, and the limitations put on what it can do. They don't miss their jailbreak, and they're happy as they are.
Updated Evasi0n 7.x untether package has just gone live on Cydia. The new version 0.2 of the package in Cydia brings all the changes that were part of standalone Evasi0n7 1.0.1 which was released as a tool for Windows and Mac a few days ago.
Now that Evad3rs has launched an iOS 7 jailbreak, we're all sat impatiently waiting for what has to be the most obvious tweak that anyone could wish for on an iPhone 5s. In fact, it's something that we've been asking Apple to add in subsequent releases of iOS 7, but it doesn't look like it's going to be forthcoming. At least, it's not in iOS 7.1 as yet.
Well, we're not entirely convinced that many people will care about this as such, but given Nokia's apparently combative stance on the subject, we thought it would be worth sharing. The more we think about it, the more puzzled we get.
Instagram, love it or loathe it, is very much the center of many of our lives. It's how people share photos of their kids, their holiday destinations and their family gatherings. Yes, there are plenty of people who post nothing but photos of their breakfasts or are busy taking selfies at funerals, but for every pointless photo on Instagram, we're willing to bet there are two that are magnificent. Just follow Trey Ratcliff's feed and you'll see what we mean.
