I can't think of a compelling reason to jailbreak my iPhone in 2013, and I suspect that's true for a lot more people than it was in the past.
I have several to do it. The one that pisses me off the most is not having "Lockinfo". Another one is to be able to share your internet with a PC without begging to your provider. And the list goes on. (facetime on 3G...)

In regards to sharing, I believe your provider can detect this and charge you more.

Those things are already possible without jailbreaking.
If you visit it in Chinese locale, It shows evasi0n7 includes an app "Taichi Assistant" for install APP, tweak. A replacement for cydia?
So, I got no lead time on evasi0n7, nor was I asked for an official iOS 7 Cydia; I was not given builds, nor was I asked for things to test.
In fact, @evad3rs didn't even try my testing build of Substrate I gave core developers, so they didn't notice a fundamental incompatibility.
This means they are going to have to push a new version of their untether to fix this oversight before I can push newer builds of Substrate.
As there was also never a tethered jailbreak for iOS 7 that had fully working kernel patches I haven't been able to test much at all myself.
I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.
(In particular, I will point out that the build of "Cydia" included is not official, and couldn't really include the fixes I'd been making.)
(Also, it's 5 AM here; I'm quite tired and had been intending to go to sleep, so I don't have the brain power to react to this all quickly.)

It used to take me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. I jail broke my phone to install f.lux and now I fall asleep in ten minutes or less.
If I eventually can't jailbreak an iPhone, I'll switch to android.
Hopefully F.lux works still. That was the worst thing about using a new, unjailbroken iPhone and iPad. Especially now that iOS 7 has a lot of white UI.
