Selecting a new wallpaper image can keep iOS looking fresh. Even better is creating a completely unique wallpaper image with the jailbreak tweak Sodium. Once installed, Sodium provides access to 27 blend modes and 16 colors, along with a variety of other options. Alpha and intensity can be adjusted to create the perfect iOS background in combination with other mods.

Users of image editing software such as Photoshop will recognize the blend modes, including Multiply, Negative, Darken, Lighten, Color Burn, Color Dodge, Soft Light, Hard Light, and many more. In fact, many of the modifications that Sodium brings to the iOS background image of your choice can be accomplished on a computer. The advantage of Sodium is that all of these options can be customized directly on a mobile device.

Looking for a quick, easy way to launch apps on the iPhone? The InstaLauncher jailbreak tweak not only looks polished but it adds a slick new interface to iOS for running apps. Instead of scrolling back and forth between several home screens and navigating folders, one gesture is all you need to bring up access to a custom list of applications.

There are several ways to customize InstaLauncher after installation from Cydia. Choosing an activator action to bring up the InstaLauncher interface is the first order of business. An alphabetical index of installed apps will appear when activated, blurring the home screen and providing instant access to app icons, favorites, and recently used apps.

After the recent demise of Infinity Blade Dungeons, fans of the franchise on iOS are looking for good news. A senior QA tester at Chair Entertainment may have filled the void, adding to speculation that Infinity Blade 3 is currently in development. Michael Lochrane listed the project on his LinkedIn profile as seen below.

There has been no official announcement regarding Infinity Blade III, however Chair co-founder Donald Mustard stated the company's intention to continue expanding the Infinity Blade universe with future games, books and other products. Assuming Lochrane's post is legit, the next sequel could be headed to iOS this fall, with the release of the iPhone 5S and iOS 7.

Getting the perfect action photo can be tough, especially using the iPhone camera. Normally with burst mode on a DSLR camera, a scene can be captured many times per second by simply holding down the shutter release. Now this continuous shooting capability has arrived on iOS with SnappyCam Pro.

To snap a series of photos at up to 60 frames per second, simply hold down the shutter release button in SnappyCam Pro. The volume up or down buttons can also be used, with the app storing every photo in its own roll. The best photos can be selected and exported to the iOS Camera Roll or Instagram, shared via email or copied to a computer using iTunes app file sharing.

The rumor that the iPhone 5C is Apple's low-cost device is picking up steam after Mac Otakara published a video allegedly showing the rear shell and front bezel of the phone. The video was published alongside another video showing off a partially assembled iPad 5.

There have been plenty of alleged low-cost iPhone leaks, but this is the first one we have seen since an image of some iPhone 5C packaging popped up online. It is unknown if any of the images are real, or if the iPhone 5C is even Apple's rumored budget iPhone.
