iPhone Cydia on ios7? Seems like it is possible...

[hgrimberg]

I just found this youtube video and it looks like by installing an app called openappmkt, you install a market where you can download cydia apps that work on a non-jailbroken ios7. This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF9D0taQQjk
Is this for real???

SCAM

Cydia apps could never work on a phone that is not jailbroken since you do not have root access - which is required.

But by clicking on the scammers website/YouTube page, you generated some revenue for the scammer

I reported this hoping the mods will Wasteland it so the scammer does not gain any additional revenue.

Did you try it? It looks like a kid on the video.

It's a scam. Nothing to see here.

I'm with dhlizard. Hope this goes to wasteland soon so this guy gets no attention.

Yup It's a scam. It just won't work.

Terrible that they use a kid to sound more legit.

Why?
Would you believe a kid with a wild story/idea like that or an adult presenting it?
I think I wouldn't believe a kid but would lean more to believe a professional sounding adult instead.
Either way, its a scam to generate clicks/views and cash revenue to the poster of the video.

Well, his voice sounded like a kid's voice.

So you would believe that a kid would develop something able to bypass Apple's system and create something that could be downloaded to install Cydia and download JB apps on an iPhone?

It's still a possibility

Yes it is!
But this is just the click collectors.

This one pops up every few months, same kid...

 

[hgrimberg]

There are many kids in youtube showing what they've learned, so it doesnt have to be him the hacker.

Let me see, everybody says no...so it must be true?

I don't think OpenAppMkt itself is completely a scam. It's just misrepresenting itself. The "apps" it installs are not able to interact with the file system or OS; they're just links to HTML5 "web apps." Basically, they're doing the same thing Apple did when the iPhone was first released: trying to pass off web apps as a legitimate alternative to a real app store.

The issue is that anyone can add an "app" to their market, and a bunch of people have created fake "Cydia" apps. Mostly they're just chock full of ads, but some of them do contain links to info on non-jailbreak tweaks and tricks.

So, basically you are saying that some of these cydia tweaks really work on a non-jailbroken iphone?

I don't think he's saying that at all.

 

[Tyler23]

That is not at all what he is saying.

 

[Applejuiced]

Not even close to what he said.
But don't lose hope though
