iOS 6

Well with the release (finally) of the evasi0n untethered jailbreak it was high time I upgraded. Most of my tweaks and apps have been updated, but Apple’s built in Weather app is broken thanks to AppSync. A small price to pay.

After some re-arranging and app downloads (YouTube & Maps) I have my home screen now looking and working like it used to, I just wish SBSettings could turn off Newsstand like it did Passbook and Compass.

A little while ago my push notifications app just stopped working, so I’ve just replaced Apple’s Mail.app outright with Sparrow (and Sparrow+). Finally I can attach photos when replying to an e-mail. It’s quite strange that Apple still haven’t addressed this ability yet, seems like quite an archaic design oversight (because Apple don’t consider it a bug).

I haven’t encountered any memory problems yet, which is unusual for Apple as historically, by the second major iOS revision your device is usually (near enough) bricked, just look at the iPad 1 or iPhone 3G – completely unusable if updated to the latest firmware offered. We’ll see what happens after 96 hours of uptime…
