One of the iOS App Store's most powerful method of unarchiving ZIP files has just been put through a significant update. WinZip for iOS, released by WinZip Computing LLC, has long been thought of as the de-facto options for users wanting to interact with archived files directly on their iOS device. Although the universal app has benefited from relatively minor upgrades during the course of 2013, the push to version 3.0.0 sees a total app overhaul to fall in line with the new iOS 7 guidelines as well as supporting a number of iOS 7 only technologies.
After releasing version Evasi0n 1.0.3 only yesterday, Evad3rs have now just pushed out another update to Evasi0n iOS 7.x jailbreak, this time updating it to version 1.0.4. This new version includes an important security fix related to untether which was first reported by Winocm earlier today, as well as a proper fix for boot loop issues on Retina iPad mini.
Evasi0n7 jailbreak version 1.0.3 is now available to download. As we reported earlier this week, the latest iOS 7.1 beta 3 didn’t patch exploits used by Evasi0n7 jailbreak. While an official version was previously made available to jailbreak iOS 7.1 beta 3, Evad3rs have now released a new version of their popular jailbreak tool to fully support jailbreak on iOS 7.1.
Apple's approach to the cameras that it puts in its iPhones has always been rather different to some of its competitors. Nokia likes to throw as many pixels at its cameras as it can, and Samsung tends to follow a similar theme with the cameras that it puts in its Android smartphones. Apple, instead, likes to stick with its 8-megapixel shooter but to tweak it, adding features in both hardware and software that will make it shine when it counts; in the photos you take.
Being able to install new, third-party keyboards is something that users of Android phones have been taking advantage of for years now, but it's still not part of the iOS feature set.
Customizing the user-interface of an iOS device is extremely popular in the jailbreak community. Sure, plenty of us liberate our devices with the intention of downloading and applying one or two tweaks that offer essential system improvements, but as time progresses, more and more users are starting to overhaul the UI as their first task.
When it turned out that all the rumors were true and Apple was indeed going to bring fingerprint technology to the iPhone, the immediate question was an obvious one; what exactly can and cannot be done with a fingerprint?
Jailbreak tweaks making it easier for iOS users to share content on social network are not exactly at a premium, but today we've stumbled across one that seems to go above and beyond the usual call of duty. Compatible with both iOS 6 and the all-new iOS 7, Totarya will let you share all kinds of data, including photos and music, from one easy-to-understand menu, and on top of that, you can also quickly post a tweet or Facebook update with relative ease.
Wireless charging is commonplace among many higher-end Android and Windows Phone handsets, but in typical Apple fashion, the Cupertino company has yet to bite. Just like the lack of NFC and the late showing of 4G LTE, Tim Cook's firm doesn't tend to jump aboard newer technologies until later on in the day, but WiTricity's wireless charging solution, which improves upon the widely-used induction model for a more versatile wireless power-up experience, could theoretically provide something for those who love iPhone and long to be able to charge without connecting to a Lightning connector.
Although iOS allows you to add images to contacts in your address book, for some reason, this feature still does not extend to the SMS app. Thankfully, the jailbreak tweak SMSContactPhotos, which essentially explains itself, has been updated for iOS 7, and as seems to be particularly in vogue for this latest Apple firmware release, has been named SMSContactPhotos7.
