Although, thanks to the most recent major update, the iOS home screen isn’t as boring and uneventful as before, it still draws criticism for its one-dimensional nature and general lack of customizability. Even with a jailbreak, you’re never quite going to be able to enjoy the eclectic mix of launchers, widgets and multiple home screens a la Android, but thanks to the recent work of Evad3rs, you can bring a little bit of life to your home screen. Random Icon Flip, as you will probably have gathered, will flip random icons around for no other reason than aesthetic enjoyment, and although it is almost as pointless as it sounds, does help to rejuvenate the otherwise monotonous view. Originally released back in 2011, the tweak now has received an update, bringing with it support for iOS 7, Apple’s latest and greatest mobile OS.

Battery life and network signal strength received by the iPhone is definitely up there at the top of legitimate concerns that users have, and thankfully both can be addressed in some form. Signal Booster, a package for jailbroken iPhones, has just been updated to support modern hardware, meaning that there could be some level of improvement for those who are facing signal problems, regardless of version of iOS which the user is running.

While it's true that Apple has worked to make inter-app sharing of data a more complete experience in iOS over the years, there's little arguing that Google's Android is the current leader when it comes to letting apps talk to each other. Apple's walled garden makes sharing photos, snippets of text and other data much more complicated than it needs to be, no matter how much it has improved.

Apple may be on a quest to rid the world of buttons, but it hasn't quite managed to pull it off just yet. Our iPhones have touch-screens that can take the strain for the most part, but we still have hardware Home and power buttons. In many ways it's the way it needs to be, but that's no consolation when either your hardware buttons stop working, or you have a specific accessibility need that means pressing those hardware buttons isn't practical.
