Another day and yet another powerful and extremely popular package updated for the jailbreak community to get to grips with. It seems that every single refresh of the installed repositories within Cydia is resulting in a hoard of new and newly updated existing packages being made available for users running iOS 7 on modern devices. One of the latest to get the iOS 7 and ARM64 attention is AirBlue Sharing, a premium extension that offers Bluetooth OBEX (Object Exchange) File Sharing for all jailbroken devices.
Apple's Touch ID sensor on the 64-bit iPhone 5s seems to be what is currently hot at the moment among Cydia developers, with a number of them taking the opportunity to release tweaks that rely on biometric authentication to perform specific tasks. Ryan Petrich, of Activator fame, is the latest to adopt current trends with the release of his BioLockdown package, available to download now.
Modding the iPhone and iPad is part of the charm of jailbreaking.

Having apparently given up on making money from selling smartphones, it looks like BlackBerry has instead decided to take its quest for cash to the law courts after it was announced that the former smartphone giant is suing a small iPhone accessory maker.
The jailbreak may not have been perfect from the offset, but it at least managed to inspire and motivate some third-party developers into building some new packages to delight the jailbreak community. It's currently early days in terms of iOS 7 and 64-bit compatible tweaks, but early previews of a number of extensions, including the extremely useful Bloard, show that the future is bright for the jailbreak world.
Jailbreaking. We love it, if only because it allows us access to features that Apple, for one reason or another, has refused to give us. At first it was being able to have Notification Center on the lock screen before iOS 7 brought it to the masses. We also had jailbreak tweaks that let us launch the Camera app from the lock screen before it appeared in an official release of iOS. Now, we've got another feature that Apple hasn't brought to iOS, and it's great.
