With iOS 7.0.2 just released, many of our jailbreak users have been in contact asking whether updating the device would hinder any chances of a future jailbreak.
Facebook may have been around for what feels like forever, but the social network is still missing one or two features that some of us have been crying out for. One of those features is something that seems rather simple on the face of it, and today Facebook announced that we will soon be able to edit our own posts on the social network.
iOS 7.0.2 download links have just gone live for iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4, iPad and iPod touches. As with any new release of iOS, the latest and greatest has had its fair share of teething issues, and while we've not quite seen a repeat of last year's iOS 6 Maps shit-storm, the security lapses that have manifested through the new-look lock screen have not made for particularly pleasant reading.
Upon first setting your eyes on Apple's new iOS 7, there are some pretty obvious changes. In fact, it's fair to say, compared with previous releases, that the latest, greatest version is the the break from the mold, but while the flattening and general brightening is apparent at first glance, some of the tweaks are only revealed once you begin using the new firmware. The whole experience has become a great deal more animated than ever before, but while these do add a nice touch of finesse to proceedings, not everybody has been thrilled with them.
In this Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5s comparison, we performed a mixture of browser load tests, comparing how fast each phone loaded websites of varying content richness. Also in the video, you'll find a collection of browser benchmarks which indicate how well a device's browser cope with certain important aspects of Internet such as HTML5 and JavaScript.
Now that iOS 7 is a week old, it's fair to say that most of our favorite and most used apps have received their big update that brings all of the iOS 7 look and feel to the apps that we spend the most of our time in. We've had Reeder 2, Twitter and Facebook updates along with a whole raft of others, but there are still some holdouts that we're getting a little impatient for.
As well as being the very first smartphone on the market packing a 64-bit processor, Apple's iPhone 5s also features an M7 motion coprocessor, allowing processes to be more efficiently managed while also preserving those essential droplets of battery life. But while these new hardware upgrades are great and all, their powers can only be fully recognized once developers adapt their apps to take advantage of them, and Strava Run, the socially-swayed training app, is the first such utility to make use of the Cupertino's new coprocessor.
Although Apple's new iPhone 5s is the most expensive iPhone model when compared to other models on sale currently, a teardown of iPhone 5s internals and an estimated cost price has revealed that the Cupertino may have built the sought-after handset for under $200. Meanwhile, the research by IHS has revealed that the accompanying iPhone 5c may have cost around $173 in terms of raw materials and construction, which, even though the polycarbonate model is quite a bit cheaper than the new flagship, still equates to a rather healthy profit for Tim Cook's men.
FIFA 14 for iOS was released just last week, but unfortunately for avid soccer fans, it was restricted to those based in specific regions. Today, not only has the latest installment of the popular series taken its worldwide bow, but for the very first time, FIFA has made its long-awaited debut for Android over at the Google Play Store.

Whenever a new gadget is released, the guys of the YouTube channel RatedRR take it upon themselves to basically wreck said device in the most brutal yet spectacular fashion. With the iPhone 5s being the biggest gadget released for a number of years and the gold model in such short supply as millions still await the shiny new color variant of Apple's flagship, the following footage, which shows the remains of the handset after a love-in with a 50-caliber bullet, may be unsuitable for some viewers.
