How To Install Cydia On iPhone 4 And 4S: Two Best Methods – Every year, Apple has consistently released an iPhone (or two) since the very first one in 2007. A lot of people still own the old but very usable iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s and are content with the iDevices.
One important reason to jailbreak your iPhone 4 or 4S is to be able to install Cydia on iPhone. Cydia, as you may probably know, is very much like the official Appstore where users can download and install apps for free. A lot of the apps from Cydia are not available from the Appstore. There are also premium paid apps in Cydia similar to the Appstore.
Users can freely add repositories to Cydia to get more sources of free apps and jailbreak tweaks. This is the main difference between the Appstore and Cydia. Some of the more popular Cydia repositories are the following:
- SiNful iPhone Repo
- iPhoneCake Repo
- Insanelyi Repo
- FillipoBiga Repo
These repositories have everything from productivity apps to games of all genres.
