It's pretty well known that iOS 6.1.3 blocks the Evasi0n jailbreak, but if you made the jump to this updated version by accident I might be able to help you. This guide will show you how to downgrade back to hack-friendly 6.1.2.

As much as the morals behind it may be questionable, one of the most obvious reasons people jailbreak their Apple devices is to get ahold of cracked apps. If this sounds like you, then the list of repos I'm about to reveal should all be in your Cydia sources!

In the Android world, Facebook Home has certainly generated a decent amount of buzz with its popular Chat Heads feature for texting and messages. If you want to try it on your iPhone, this new tweak could be worth your time!

Did you know that it's possible to perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 6.1.3 as long as you have a Pre-A5 processor device? Users with a 3GS, iPhone 4, or Touch 4G will want to check out this tutorial!

This particular week, our download servers have been one happening place. Recording some of the highest stats I've ever seen, this weekly roundup will show you all of the most amazing files that made great things happen. If you've got a PSP, PS3, or a brand new iDevice, this is one feature that you should be paying attention to!

So now that Cydia traffic is starting to calm down, you may be looking for a few additional tweaks to install on your newly jailbroken device. As is the norm, these tweaks may not produce the biggest effect overall, but they are certainly worth looking into if you are a fan of customization.

Apple has finally released iOS 6.1 to the public, for all you guys that have been waiting around for it.

If there's one thing we've been hearing a lot about in the Apple universe lately, it's the strong possibility of the iPhone 5S arriving on shelves sooner than expected. Here's another solid report that also comments on a possible "lower end" model.

If you're one of the many users that likes to take advantage of the Facebook Messenger app, as  of yesterday you now have quite a bit to  be excited about. With a retooled interface and the addition of some new swiping gestures, keeping touch with your friends has never been more intuitive on iOS.

Apple, a few days ago, announced the 3rd generation iPod Touch with not much improvement over the 2nd gen iPod Touch. Sadly, Apple didn't add a camera. However, Apple did drop the price on the iPod Touch and boosted up the storage, which is always a plus.

New iPod Touch lineup looks like this:

• $199USD for the 8GB model
• $299USD for 32GB model
• $399USD for a whopping 64GB

The 32GB and 64GB are 50% faster than previous generation models and will run OpenGL ES 2.0. Also, existing iPod Touch owners who already have the latest 3.0 firmware will also be able to download the new iPhone OS 3.1 firmware, which is already available, at no charge, while those running older firmware versions can upgrade for $4.95, which is an absolute bargain.

In addition, iFixIt got their hands on a 32Gb iPod Touch model and tore it down and revealed that the iPod Touch contains a Broadcom BCM4329 chipset. Broadcom BCM4329 is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, which supports the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard in addition to 802.11a/b/g standards. The iPhone 3GS and the second-generation iPod touch utilize a different BCM4325 chip, which supports only the 802.11a/b/g standards. While Apple has apparently not activated 802.11n capability in the iPod touch and it is unknown whether it will choose to do so in the future, the new iPod touch hardware does appear to be capable of supporting the standard.

iFixIt has also revealed that the iPod Touch has a small empty space at the top of the device (Approx. 6mm x 6mm x 3mm) where an iPod nano-style camera could fit. The iPod Touch does not appear to be thick enough to adequately house an auto focus camera as found in the iPhone 3GS.

iPhone Dev Team have released a redsn0w release which they will be provided no support for. — For those who are experienced with Terminal on Mac can use this with ease but for those who aren't, well, you may have some trouble. Redsn0w lite is command-line only; No GUI (if you didn't figure it out by now) and it's a tethered process.

THIS IS A ***** TETHERED ***** JAILBREAK IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS, DON'T USE THIS! There are many ways to do this. Here's one way that will probably work for you. If it doesn't, please don't come to use for support. We're working on an untethered version. This is for Mac only. But you should be able to find (or work out on your own) how to do it on Windows or Linux too.
