The fourth beta of iOS 7.1 has just been made available for download, featuring the usual rudimentary fixes and improvements.
VLC is a household name as far as most desktop and Android users are concerned, but while the famed app did once grace a fledgling iOS App Store in its early days, it was pulled without much warning and resigned to being jailbreak-only. Thankfully, the iconic media player returned to its rightful home recently in the form of VLC v2 for iOS, and having been rejuvenated by a bunch of great improvements, the VideoLAN team is back with more enhancing features for those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
It's pretty much common knowledge by now that Apple integrated native game controller support with the launch of iOS 7 last year. The officially introduced APIs in the iOS 7 SDK make it relatively easy for game developers to allow their offerings to be interacted with via a hardware controller that conforms to Apple's blueprints. However, the initial wave of controllers have proven to be quite expensive, prohibitively so in some cases, meaning that not a lot of users are taking the plunge and parting with upwards of $99 to play a $0.99 game. Thankfully the jailbreak community has come to the rescue once again with the release of Controllers for All, a tweak that allows PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 controllers to be used in conjunction with these MFi Game Controller iOS 7 games.

When Apple announced the iPhone 5s last September, one of the features that it made quite a fuss about was the new phone's ability to record slow motion video.
When Apple announced iOS 7 last year it made a big fuss out of the considerable changes that the new version would bring to our iPhones,iPads and iPod touches. A whole new interface, a redesigned Camera app and more were touted as some of the biggest changes, with countless others thrown in for good measure. Over the months since and as the release day drew closer, some features fell by the wayside and others were introduced. In September, iOS 7 was released.
Choosing whether or not to go with iOS or Android doesn't always come down to the available hardware - although that definitely helps - with the decision often resting on the available apps and software that exist for each platform. Google has already proven itself to be more than willing to bring their offerings to the iOS platform, with that willingness to adopt iOS being shown once again with the immediate availability of the Google Play Movies & TV app for iPhone and iPad.
While Dropbox has been offering its cloud storage services for a good few years now, things are a lot more crowded with the big names in tech chiming in with their own efforts. Microsoft's SkyDrive, Google Drive, and Apple iCloud have all emerged over the past couple of years, but despite their presence, the smaller companies continue to plug away for a piece of that pie. Box is one such service, and has really thrown down the gauntlet to its overbearing competitors by announcing 50GB of free storage to those on iOS. The promotion, which is in celebration of the app's recent iOS 7-ification, can be obtained by anybody with an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, so if you're interested, check out the details after the leap!
Although the improvements made to smartphone cameras over the last few years has enabled anyone and everyone to try their hand at becoming a photographer / director, this wealth of technology in the hands of amateurs can, and often does, produce disastrous results.
Even though you can pick up an iPhone 5s with up to 64GB of storage space while the iPad ranges push the boat all the way out to 128GB, most of us still like to de-clutter wherever possible. Whether this takes the form of moving our media content to the cloud or simply deleting apps as and when they're no longer needed, it's nice to have a substantial amount of space spare. One way you can save space in the beta'd iOS 7.1 is by removing unwanted OTA updates that have been downloaded onto your device, and as discovered by the folks at Macerkopf, you'll be able to save yourself a tidy 1GB!
One of the most popular iOS jailbreak themes on Cydia has to be Ayecon, from Surenix. It's been around in various guises for some time now, and has been installed on more iPhones, iPads and iPod touches than we care to guess, and we're sure it'll be installed on countless more too. In fact, we're particularly confident about that now that Surenix has announced via a blog post that Ayecon for iOS 7 is almost ready for primetime.
