Can you hide the carrier on iOS 7?

Yeah that's what I Heard but I also heard there is a way but it doesn't work that well
Why does everyone think that! It looks better without one anyways verizon takes up too much space and it just looks cluttered
I would also like to know if carrier editor was updated or there are other alternatives.
There won't be a way as Apple changed way it's used in the .ipsw. So until a jailbreak is released CarrierEditor or any program won't work
Am I the only one that doesn't really care about my carriers being shown in the status bar? I actually like it. The only thing I don't like are the dots in iOS 7. I much prefer the bars from iOS 6.
I agree about the dots/bars. I also don't really care about carrier name, but I can see why some would as it can take up a decent amount of space for some and make things look somewhat cluttered/busy up there in the status bar.
Yeah it does look cluttered and iOS is the only OS that shows the carrier name like for androids and blackberry they don't show the carrier name
I don't know about BB but on Android some phones do show it including the Moto X. Other phones show it elsewhere just not in the status bar.
Most Android phones also come with the carrier logo on the phone itself. I assume that's why Apple isn't allowed to take it off the status bar.
They have done this since the AT&T exclusivness was dropped. Clearly they would be showing favortism if they were to display AT&T only or Verizon etc.
I've never owned a branded phone so That's not true unless you're buying from a carrier.
Any update to this? Just curious. I think it should be one of those options buried in the settings under some random subsection. I think if anyone wants to get rid of the Verizon text it would be right...us Verizonites have had that name burned into every phone bought until iPhone liberated us! Personally I like to have a carrier name up there but a part of me doesn't like it because Verizon likes to get their grimmy hands on everything...a carrier should just be a pipe of service....
Hehe 3 does have the best name for people picky about this. I remember back when I jailbroke my iPhone 4 I changed my carrier to "Vodafone" for a week and watched as people got confused!
(Necropost I know but why make a new thread?)
I love my carrier!!

Carriers don't get to brand the iPhone as they do with other phones so this is the trade-off basically that instead of branding on the phone physically they get their name up on top in the OS.

Vodafone's fat arse doesn't even fit in the status bar #. I didn't even realise that the spinning loader icon is actually supposed to be on the left hand side, since it's constantly pushed over to the right
