Iblacklist might not be totally obsolete. With iblacklist you can have text messages delivered to a spam folder, no word on how this works for iOS

I heard that blocked texts on iOS 7 doesn't do anything. No notification of any kind, no spam folder, etc.

Phone calls apparently leave no notifications unless they leave a voicemail, but a list of blocked calls is left in a separate folder called blocked.

Apparently WeatherIcon may also be (partly) replaced.

Unfortunately, it's only slightly better than the old multitasking model. Let me cite MR's article ( https://www.macrumors.com/2013/06/1...ements-multitasking-support-airdrop-and-more/ ):

"Multitasking and Background Downloads - Apple's new multitasking APIs are designed to allow apps to update and download content in the background at intelligently scheduled times. For example, a Twitter app might incorporate this functionality, downloading new content in the background while the phone is not otherwise in use, staying up to date without unnecessarily draining battery. Push notifications can also initiate content downloads. "

That is, you can in no way except any app to run in the background and, say, continue outputting video to an external TV. Something Backgrounder / Quasar / Background Manager are all capable of as one of the best usages of these tweaks. It's just a somewhat more advanced download support - nothing else. Definitely not the same thing as in Android / Symbian / Windows Mobile or even Windows RT's "snap" mode.

I've started to thoroughly examine the new iOS7 multitasking features at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1600628/ . Feel free to read my posts there.

(Note: the thread is full of iOS proponents / fanbois stating we don't need true multitasking at all.)

I think they all will become tweaks to iOS7's current style after iOS7 jailbreak. iOS7 still needs tweaks... We all need tweaks... That's why we are here, hopefully developers won't gonna show white flag to Apple, if they will continue to steal jailbreak tweaks and integrate them into the iOS.
