Apple's tendency to delay the introduction of features found on competing devices does tend to irk the iOS-loving community. After all, it took until 2012's introduction of the iPhone 5 for the company's product line to see 4G LTE, and lest we forget that NFC - a standard feature of many high-end handsets for years - only arrived with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus a matter of months ago. But Apple's tendency not to rush means that said features are more refined when they do eventually manifest, and with many wondering how smaller-handed folk would deal with iOS on a 4.7 or 5.5-inch footprint leading up to the latest arrivals, the question was answered with Reachability. Now, one tweak manages to expand this implementation further, allowing jailbreakers to add widgets in the space left by dragging the UI downwards.

Running a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch offers many well-documented advantages over stock software, namely the ability to alter the functionality and UX in ways that Apple would simply never permit. But it's not all a bed of roses, of course. Jailbreaks are, after all, the result of developers finding and exploiting holes within the Apple platform, so while the plus points of running jailbroken vs. untouched software may be enticing, you may also be afflicted by nastiness that would otherwise not have reached you. Case in point: a new proof-of-concept tweak that is not only dangerous, but potentially fatal to your device in that, as per the author, it will brick your device irreversibly once installed.
