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.
It's amazing how jailbreaking seems to go in waves. We have those busy spells where all we ever seem to hear about is new tweaks and apps hitting Cydia that should, hopefully, blow our minds and change the way we use our iOS devices. Then we have a period like the one that we've just come out of, where interest seems to wane and jailbreaking almost slips into hibernation.
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.
The release of an iOS 7 jailbreak is certainly the biggest news of the last week, but that left us all wishing that Cydia would be updated to something that looked a little more iOS 7-like. Sure enough, the update to Cydia rolled around, but somewhat oddly the app's icon wasn't updated accordingly. On a home screen full of icons that are nice and flat, Cydia's stands out like a sore thumb.
Want a iPhone screen recorder app for iOS 7? Now that the iOS 7 jailbreak is publicly available for all devices, we have started seeing much welcomed influx of powerful and innovative tweaks landing on Cydia's repositories. One of the few to catch our attention is a beta version of CoolStar's RecordMyScreen tweak that has been updated and made available specifically for iOS 7 devices.
After being forced to either stay on legacy firmware and enjoy the liberties jailbreaking provides, or upgrade to iOS 7 and have to live with a stock installation, users now have the power placed firmly back in their hands. The recent release of the latest Evasi0n jailbreak means that we will start to see plenty of new tweaks being uploaded to the default Cydia repositories, with HiddenSettings7 being one of the latest offerings to land in the jailbroken app store.
The jailbreak drama that started with the unexpected release of Evasi0n7 and then subsequent discovery of piracy on the Chinese jailbreak store, TaiG, is far from over. As the Internet’s delight over the available of Evasi0n7 as an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7 - 7.0.4 devices changed to fury, Evad3rs came up with a long justification for how things had unfolded when all of this happened and clarified their position. This, however, did not stop people like Geohot and Saurik from expressing their concerns and displeasure with the practices that Evad3rs had apparently employed.
Evasi0n7 iOS 7 jailbreak tool has just been updated to version 1.0.1 for both Windows and Mac. The new version completely removes the controversial Chinese TaiG App Store from the install package.
There's been more than a little talk over the last couple of days about Evad3rs and their new iOS 7 jailbreak. Once the initial surprise at its release had died down, attention soon turned to the fact that, given the right conditions, it would install a non-Cydia app store that many believed was there to facilitate easy piracy. The Internet exploded.
The addition of Control Center to iOS 7 is probably one of the biggest new features that the iPhone and iPad operating system received. It's true that iOS 7 saw all kinds of changes, some more obvious than others and some under the hood, but being able to get quick access to certain apps as well as some system toggles has quite literally changed the way some of us use our devices.
