The update also includes improvements to iBeacon.

I have to fight the urge to click on this article's picture…



There we go; OCD assuaged.

* BiteSMS and other such system refinements

you don't need to jailbreak to install pirated apps anymore, more to the point there are many useful tweaks for iOS7 Inc Touch ID per App, Auki -Quick reply (feature of iOS8 - beta is too unstable right now) Activator. etc
