In my absence, the gurus at Evasi0n and saurik of Cydia himself came up
with a working untethered jailbreak and ancillary programs for the
iPhone 5S and the latest OS, so, finally, I'm able to customize my
iPhone. The customizations are mainly "tweaks" that expand upon the
features of the phones, such as adding more controls to the Control
Center and deleting the ones Apple puts in there that you might never use.
Exciting, eh?
I was reading in USA today that Apple and Samsung are scared to death
about a new wave of smart phones coming out of China that run Android
and will retail for $100. They are cheap enough that the cell
carriers can give them away for a pretty short contract.
I still have not seen the need for one for me personally but I don't
even carry a phone.
I have a few uses for some of the apps on my iPhone, but I don't have or
have need for the dozens or hundreds of apps I see some people use.
