I'm on an MVNO who doesn't care, but the settings for the network the MVNO runs ontop of override it with a different APN. It's times like this I really hate Apple's operator-relationship BS.

I hate how they make it super hard if not impossible to override the APNs yourself... I change carriers every month, and do all sorts of odd stuff with my SIMs, and my iPhone chokes on them because of it :(

>I change carriers every month

I'd be surprised if there were more than a handful of people actually doing this, which would explain why your use case doesn't get substantial engineering/UX resources.

There is no tab limit for safari in iOS7.

Nope, after having 10 visible tabs the new tab button gets disabled and links that would open a new tab replaces the old ones.

The limit has been lifted in iOS7.

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?

Because we want both openness and the iPhone, and are unwilling to compromise.

what does the iPhone offer that makes it compelling to not get a different device?

That's inaccurate, just tried it on my iPad with iOS7

You could just stop staring at your iPhone before you fall asleep?

>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 eventua…

Your analogy says 'adapt yourself' which is the parents point.

Technology unfortunately cannot keep up with our desire to use it to the detriment of our own health.

Is this because of travel and being in a different country?

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…

I bet someone will reverse engineer this jailbreak to figure out what what hole it uses and write one that is more open and/or installs Cydia by default.

Apple also will study it to find their security hole and close it in an OS update.

The hardware is just better. The software that Apple has designed works really well, and makes the hardware shine way better than any other device. I've used Droid 1 2009-2011, Galaxy Nexus 2011-2013. The hardware/software synergy is just much better on the iPhone.

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…

That right there put me off upgrading. It's bad enough that to jailbreak my phone, I basically have to accept the fact that I'm running an operating system with known (and unpatched) security vulnerabilities. That evasi0n basically bundles spyware is completely unacceptable.
