It’s made by “chpwn,” the guy who made the Infiniapps (Infiniboard, Infinidock, etc.) and Gridlock, as well as ProSwitcher. It’s one of the most popular jailbreak tweaks, but that’s probably because its features feel native and as if they should be apart of iOS itself. All of the gestures Zephyr adds just feel right, and I couldn’t imagine my jailbroken iPhone 5 without them. But what exactly is Zephyr? And is it worth $4.99?

The tweak adds a handful of gestures that allow you to more fluidly use iOS. Most notable of the set is that (by default) any drag from below the screen will do one of two things; it will close the app you’re using if you’re using one, or it will show the app switcher if you’re on the home screen. This alone justifies about half the price tag for me, and the other half would be the tweak’s ability to switch apps from dragging your finger onto the screen from the left or right. But that’s not all this tweak brings. (more…)

Apple’s iOS 6.1.2 was released earlier today, packed with a fix to a critical Microsoft Exchange bug. If you aren’t an enterprise user, my advice is that there’s not really any reason to upgrade. However, if you do decide that you must always be up-to-date, rest assured that an update to evasi0n to support said software will be available later today.

We will release evasi0n 1.4 later today that marks iOS 6.1.2 as supported.
