We are at the verge of iOS7 which more likely will be announced next week at the WWDC 2013 event in San Francisco. There we will see how much Jonathan Ive has changed to the design of the popular mobile Operating System. Every iOS release has been introduced with a new iPhone and this year the same will hold true. With the new iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 or iPhone HD (I hope) coming up I would like to take a look back at the iPhone 5 that I have been using for 8 months already now.

For those who don’t know I have written a comprehensive article when the iPhone 5 came out named Read this before buying the iPhone 5, it still is a nice read I think. Anyway let us wrap this thing up below.

Velox is a Cydia tweak which changes the way you use and interact with your iPhone applications. By swiping down on apps it shows quick functions without opening the app or it displays safari web content.

I must admit it’s a bit buggy because Velox is still kind of beta, but Velox is even with the bugs well worth the effort of installing. I’m sure that they are working on updates 24/7 round the clock.

Anyway Velox made me uninstall AppStore apps that just grab html content from the net. Instead I have created new shortcuts from the real webpages. For instance I’m reading every day four news papers on the iPhone. Two of them were real apps. But because the way Velox works it’s much nicer to pull the content directly from the net. Now I only have to swipe four times up to quickly read the most important head-lines instead of open-close those apps. And as a bonus they don’t stay in memory eating RAM faster than the Cookie Monster.

BatteryDoctorPro - Fantastic Cydia Application

This week there was an update of Kingsoft’s BatteryDoctorPro in the jailbreak AppStore. The wonderful application is also available in the iTunes AppStore but with less functionality. This makes it so attractive to jailbreak because these kind of applications change systems functions, something that’s prohibited by Apple’s default policies.

The current version I’m writing about is 4.1.1-380, and appears in the BigBoss repo, I remember that in the past I’d to add the special source http://apt.ios.ijinshan.com for this application, but now it comes with the default store sources luckily.
