Brehs I have a question?
I want to update my iPhone 4S.
I did a OTA update when 7.0.3 was released.
In order for me to install Evasi0n 7 I need to do a update/restore my iPhone using iTunes.
I don't want to update my phone to 7.1 because a jailbreak has not been released for it yet.
Is there other options to update my iPhone to 7.0.6 so I can jailbreak it?

You can jailbreak 7.0.3.

Apple is no longer signing 7.0.6 firmware so if you update/restore you will get 7.1.

Lifehackers quarterly Jailbreak roundup

Auxo 2

Auxo is a fan favorite app switcher in the jailbreak community, and the recently released Auxo 2 ($3.99) adds to the original in a ton of ways. Auxo 2 brings with the mandatory iOS 7 support, but it also gets a ton of new features. The new multitasking menu lets you control both multitasking and Control Center at the same time. Quick Switcher get you through your recent apps in a single gesture, and hot corner add—you guessed it—hot corners to iOS.

Badger 7

Badger 7 ($1.49) makes notifications way better looking and easier to use. Now, you can pull up notifications right from the badge on the icon, reply to messages, and get rid of them quickly. It's fast, good looking, and works great.

CamText

CamText ($1.49) is an app that lays your camera view underneath your text messages so you can walk and text at the same time. Basically, it makes your phone transparent so you don't walk into a wall. CamText is a bit goofy, but does exactly what it's supposed to do.

GuestMode

Guestmode(99¢) adds the guest mode functionality of your computer to your phone. So, with a pin lock, you can set it so when you hand your phone over to a friend they only get access to certain app and functions. You can lock off certain apps, restrict settings, and lock down your phone in just about anyway you want.

Message Box

If you're a fan of Facebook chat heads and want them everywhere in iOS, Message Box (free) is an app that'll do it. Once it's installed, chat heads will pop up everywhere in iOS so you can talk to all your Facebook friend from anywhere.

ProWidgets

Not everyone wants widgets on their home screen, but if you do, ProWidgets ($2.99) is the best way to add them. Once it's installed, you can add small widgets to your home screen where you can quickly add a calendar event, make a note, create an email, or whatever else. What really sets ProWidgets apart is the customization options. You can install a ton of widgets, but you can also customize how they work, what they look like, and where they appear.

Rendarya

Rendarya ($1.99) adds a ton of awesome features to the default photos app to make it actually useful as a photo editor. With Rendarya, you can add filters, make adjustments, add blurs, and more. It's not nearly as feature-packed as something like Camera+, but if you're attached to the default photos app it makes it a heck of a lot more fun to use.

Spin

Spin (99¢) adds a brand new lock screen music player. Instead of the boring old buttons on the lockscreen, you get a circular navigator for scrubbing through a track. It's a bit laggy sometimes, but it definitely looks great and provides a novel way to mess around with tracks.

UIColors

You wouldn't think it, but UIColors ($1.49) is one of the easiest ways to drastically change the look of iOS. Basically, UIColors allows changes the default interface color, and that means you can change the basic color screen for just about any app. You can set it up to change the keyboard colors, primary colors, text colors, and just about anything else. In just a few minutes you can theme iOS to look like a completely different operating system, but since it's only changing colors it doesn't cause much slowdown.

Jailbreak your iPhone and install "Movie Box" from Cydia

What current iOS version is on your iPhone? There's no jailbreak available for 7.1. You would need to have the 7.0.6 version on your phone

Why didn't you wait til the 6? That's what I'll be doing...iPhone's hold their value so going back will be easy, if needed.

First impressions?

I needed a new phone ASAP, it was time to upgrade and my s3 was pretty much done. Reason I went iPhone was because I just wanted to try something new for all these years I've been dealing with non apple smartphones ( windows mobile, palm OS, android) .

First impressions, the screen is crazy... The display looks crazy good. App wise, the interfaces on iOS apps look much better than their android counterparts, not to mention they function much better. For example I used Spotify a lot on my s3 but that interface was somewhat of a pain to navigate through compared to the iOS version . Mainly due to the fact that it actually shows your search history making it easier to look up your favorite artists and what not.

Thats what I be trying to tell these android dudes. I been back and forth for YEARS and have settled on iPhone for this very reason..even despite the smallish screen.
