Apple has raised the price of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs in the UK and Germany on Thursday, probably not a coincidence on the first of the year. In Germany, Apple has raised price to €99/year ($120) from €80/year ($97) in 2014, and in the UK pricing has been adjusted from £60/year ($93) to £79/year ($123).
This is one of those moments where all you can think to yourself is: "Oh. Oh, no."

Fred Wilson, a prominent startup investor and partner of Union Square Ventures, has posted a series of predictions for 2015 and his forecast isn't looking too good for Apple's first new product category in years.

ReachApp is a groundbreaking new jailbreak tweak for iPhones and iPads that we covered earlier. Unfortunately, it's not available on the default Cydia repos like ModMyi or BigBoss, so it wasn't eligible for our 2014 tweak of the year awards. Despite that, ReachApp is definitely one of the best tweaks that I've used this year, and certainly one of the most practical depending on how you use your device. Although it's not available on the default Cydia repos, you can get the beta version on your iOS device right now.

Confero is a brand new jailbreak tweak that helps you to clean up the iPhone's SpringBoard by eliminating (or at least lessening) the red notification badges. Many find such badges, which sit in the upper right-hand corner of an app with pending notifications, to be an eyesore. Confero is a viable solution for getting rid of said badges.
"The biggest iOS release ever."
SiliconBeat reports Apple has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging it doesn't inform its customers how much storage iOS 8 takes up on their device, and then asks them to buy more space on iCloud.
