iPhone

With last year's iPhone 5s, one of the main new additions to the fold was the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, but as is typical of an early new Apple implementation, it was rather limited in terms of functionality. This has been relaxed somewhat in 2014, with third-party support as well as integration with the iPad line-up, but as ever, it has been left up to the jailbreak community to broaden its horizons. moeseth, the guy who brought us Virtual Home at the turn of the new year, is back with a new and improved VirtualHome 8 (iOS 8) tweak for the more recent software, and having earlier offered an insight as to some of its features, it's now available to download via Cydia.

Back when widgets were all the rage on Android and everyone was in awe of the stock clock and weather widget that could be found at the top of all HTC devices’ home screens, the widget itself was held up as an example of the kind of thing that users of iPhones were always going to miss so long as Apple refused to allow widgets. Then jailbreaking came along and made it all possible, but the iPhone's relatively small screen never really leant itself to having something so large at the top of the screen.
