iOS 11 is incredibly smooth on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

i used 11.0.2

 

im sorry

 

waiting for a real jailbreak with working substrate/cydia to update to 11.1.2 to .. jailbreak again

lets not hijack this thread with me bitching about my iphone's negligible and probably false frame drops

You can’t even get to 11.1.2 anymore. That window closed. 

 

What do do you even jailbreak for? The only useful thing I can think of to Jailbreak anymore is to activate your mobile hotspot without paying for it.

You should have spent your money on something else. Does that really only support 2 2G bands? It'll basically be useless.

i have shsh2 blobs, SEP is still compatible with 11.1.2 iirc

 

filza, chrome to stalk my browsing habits (tab syncing), youtube++ (no proper laptop, core duo is trash), 5x6 icons (i dislike folders), and making animations go much faster (probably a mute point on 11.x), custom CC (somewhat of a mute point on 11.x), nicer looking icons (not essential but why not?)

 

also swipe to unlock

Can it even install apps to the SD card? Not everything can. So you'd still have the same issue. I'd just file a complaint with Paypal and eBay and try and get your money back.

 

If it doesn't support the bands of your carrier, then you won't get service. There are many carriers that simply don't support 2G at all anymore.

Where did you gather that?

I see support for 2G: 900/1800

TMobile uses 1900 for 2G.

because the phone sitting next to me that apparently has 2g is running 4g and is working fine.

Ahh 

 

For Filza I find that the iOS Files app works better since it syncs files with my Mac, PC, and iPhone. 

 

YouTube++ is nice but I don’t mind watching ads on mobile since I block ads on my Mac and PC. I also don’t really see the need to download videos on my phone since I have unlimited data through Sprint. 

 

The 5x6 grid is a little too compact for what I am used to and I personally love the current speed of iOS 11 and I think reduced motion suffices for those who want quicker animations. 

 

And yeah iOS 11 lets you control the layout of CC pretty heavily. 

 

To me Apple has made iOS kill the desire to jailbreak. Especially since it supports native screen recording now. 

 

I hope they add picture in picture to the Plus model iPhones in iOS 12 though.

Except you can't install anything on it.

Their write up just sucks then.

I thought that SD card app installs were prevented on an Android level a while back?

Natively no, however I'm pretty sure OEMs can still enable it. Samsung has it, for example.

I haven't messed around with the iOS Files app as I don't have anything on 11, and I don't have a Mac or plan on using iCloud

I can SSH files over from my phone to my laptop and desktop though

 

YT++ is only for the background playback. Most of the things I watch/listen is more commentary

 

5x6 grid is perfect on my 6s+ for me, 4x5 feels like there is so much wasted space

iOS 11 animations are quite fast, and I do like them, but 11.0.2 gave me drops in everything soo.

 

I would like to change the control center, removing things I don't need

don't need screen mirroring, and don't like items inside a box, and would like to move the quick toggles around

would also like to try to make it more compact and not blur the background; I like to be able to continue reading something while I am in control center changing something

 

Also true wifi and bluetooth toggles.

 

PiP is nice, but I don't watch things in safari anymore because I don't watch things outside of youtube on my phone anymore

Tmw you aren’t taking advantage of the things that make iOS the top tier mobile operating system*

like most people

i can buy  $1000 phone

i cannot be paying $1.29 for 50gb iCloud storage OR wireless headphones OR lightning cables that cost $30!

 

im not really interested in cloud storage, ill stick to SSH into my phone and moving things off manually it's faster anyways (iPhone has NVMe and AC wifi)

and actually at least in the States 50GB iCloud storage costs $0.99.

 

A dollar a month is basically nothing and it allows me to be able to use the Files app and iCloud Photo Library.

a dollar and 29 cents plus tax a month at $0/yr income

sucks to not be able to have any money of your own to make your own purchase decisions because parents

It is. The integration blows the limitations of iOS out of the water.
