"Apple has purportedly already fixed exploits used for iOS 7 jailbreak" http://www.ifans.com/blog/95118/
It looks like it's compatible with iOS 7.1 beta 2 though. http://imgur.com/HjyNM79

F.Lux 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.
You could just stop staring at your iPhone before you fall asleep?
There's this big problem with technology - particularly common with people that is not familiar with it (looking at you @aroch) - where people think that you should adapt yourself to the technology around you where it should always be technology the one that should adapt to your lifestyle.
If you cook something and it tastes like shit, do you eventually become used to the taste of shit? or do you find out what happened and cook in a way that relates more to the kind of flavors that you want?

Well, the reason that the Cydia store doesn't work, and that Saurik wasn't included in the discussions, is starting to become clear. A Chinese company paid the evad3rs a rumored 1 million dollars for the jailbreak, forcing their own App Store onto the phone. If the computer running the jailbreak has Chinese as the main language, then the Chinese 太极 (taiji) market app is install. Cydia is available as an option, but i…
Wow. This changes a whole lot of things. This is basically the worst-case scenario for Apple in terms of jailbreaks: For the first time, there's an unknown corporate actor calling the shots, and the high code-signing security of iOS 7 has backfired, causing this to be the only jailbreak on the market. If this becomes anywhere near as popular as Evasi0n for iOS 6.1 (over 7 million downloads in its first few days), App…

This sounds terrible. I just jailbroke my phone. What's the best path backwards ?

These $9 orange safety glasses have worked extremely well for me over the past few years: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000USRG90/ref=redir_mdp_mobil... EDIT: edited for clarity
Wow, there's a real-life instance of the old "zero-gravity pen / Soviets used a pencil" legend. I think I'll pick one of those up.
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 can have F.lux
I can speed up UI animations
I can unlock the faster Nitrous Javascript renderer for 3rd party apps (Apple gimps 3rd party browsers by restricting this but w/ jailbreak, I can bypass Apple).
I can install different UI interactions that I prefer like swipe up from the bottom edge to close an app (probably won't work well in iOS7 but in iOS6 it was fantastic).
I can install a tweak that saves all Snapchats for unlimited time and adds a lot of stuff on top of Snapchat discreetly.
And just a lot of little tweaks that I really enjoy having.

Restore and wait for an open source jailbreak not compiled by scumbags.
From Jay Freeman's (saurik) twitter: 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 befor…

If you visit it in Chinese locale, It shows evasi0n7 includes an app "Taichi Assistant" for install APP, tweak. A replacement for cydia?
And here is the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/1ladSRs.png So evad3rs encourages us to install pirate APP?
I do not get why anyone would want to jailbreak an iPhone. If you do not like the walled garden, why not switch to another platform?
