Installing IntelliScreenX 6 will also install the IntelliScreenX (iOS 6 Library).

The package will require existing owners of IntelliScreenX to pay $4.99 to upgrade to IntelliScreenX 6. If you bought the older package on or after December 1, 2012, then the upgrade is free. New Users Will have to buy the package for $9.99

Sweet! Was hoping intelliscreen would make it in time.

What's new in ISX and MyWi to warrant paying an upgrade price just for it to work on iOS 6? Or is it just that we have to pay again because it is exactly the same only it took them a while to make compatible with iOS 6.

There is a $4.99 upgrade for MyWi 6.0 and IntelliScreenX 6 from MyWi 4/5 and ISX. If you purchased on/after Dec 1st 2012, it's free!

Yes but why is that? If I buy a piece of software and then said piece of software stops working on a newer operating system I would expect a free patch to be made available to everyone to get it to work again. By charging existing users for exactly the same thing they have but with no new features is just wrong. Of course I do realise what I own is a license to use the software as opposed to the software itself so bringing this up is pointless really. My point is you don't see tetherme charging its users to use their tweak on iOS 6 do you?

I completely agree, I have not yet bought ISX, but I plan on that being the first tweak I purchase, so no matter what I'm stuck with the $10 ( which in reality isn't much money) but once I buy it, id except a free update to make it compatible with newer software, don't give me the new features fine, but id expect at least forward comparability

Used to look forward to jail breaking to use mywi but don't need it with Verizon anymore
Anyone know how bitesms does with ios6?

[subywrex]

No thanks. Charging for a compatibility update and and a few new features I would hardly say is with 50% of the original price tag.

Why do people who just purchased the program getting it free? Maybe there money is better than ours who payed when the app first came out?

I mean come on!! All this says to me is they aren't making money off of new customers so they want to charge existing.

I for one no longer support intelliborn.

HA duh. Thats what the original post says, we can read. But can you? The gentleman asked what "warrants" the upgrading to have a price. For us devout users who originally purchased a license back in early 2012 and even in 2011, it should still be free if no new features were added, other than iOS compatibility. Dont get me wrong, I'd pay 10$, or anything, to have them again, but it still sucks to have to pay anything to merely upgrade as an existing license owner.

Bitesms works fine

Looks like I'm going back to using Lockinfo then, I'm not paying those robbing beeps another penny. MyWi hardly ever bloody worked anyway and IntelliscreenX is overpriced tripe.

You're just quoting the article. This upgrade fee is unacceptable. Would apple charge an extra $4.99 when they update their Pages app for a newer iOS version? Or any app for that matter.
I can understand adding more features and options for a jailbreak tweak. However, the developers are only making it iOS 6 compatible.

There is currently a repository available for the biteSMS for iOS 6, I had it on my iPhone 4 running 6.1beta2. But I'm not sure if its compatible with certain devices, such as iPhone 5.

Yes I do agree with ya there on that point.

[bigdog5142]

That's frustrating to me as well. I've used both Intelliscreen X ' MiWi when I had my jailbroken 4S. I got the iPhone 5 & haven't been able to use the software until this new jailbreak. I could understand if they added new functionality, but just for the right to use it with a new OS? That's pathetic and gouging.

So Glad that lockinfo is not charging for an update, as for mywi and the rest, i will take my money else where.

For the record, TetherMe works with iOS 6. All updates to TetherMe have been free thus far.
