The addition of a gyroscope sensor into the iPhone is one example of the device’s evolution, but the release of the iPhone 5s and Apple's Touch ID sensor is probably one of the most exciting developments that we have seen for a while.

Like most other popular tweaks, it has now received an iOS 7 overhaul to make it compatible with the latest Evasi0n release and modern A7 64-bit devices.
In this day and age, it really is a travesty that we still have to carry cables around with us. That won't always be the case though, and thankfully some of the wires in our lives are beginning to become obsolete, or at the very least they're becoming less vital than they once were.

With the current smartphone and tablet market seeing two big competitors duke it out for dominance in Apple and Google, it's probably fairly safe to say that one of the key differentiators for many people when choosing which to side with is the ecosystem that comes with them. Apps, music and video are all tightly tied to both iOS and Android, and they're largely incompatible with each other.
If you abstract away the advanced functionality that Google has bundled into the relatively small Glass eyewear - and look past the hype - then you are left with a pair of glasses that actually provide no benefit to individuals who actually need help with their vision on a daily basis. That limitation of Glass will hopefully be eradicated within the next few weeks, with Rochester Optical announcing that Glass compatible prescription frames will be available imminently.
The HiddenSettings7 tweak, for those that missed it, unlocks bunch of cool iOS 7 settings obscured by Apple from the view of the end user, and having been released last week, the launch has now been swiftly followed by an update complete with support for the 64-bit processor of the iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display.
