New in iOS 9: a larger iPad folder layout

One of the more unheralded benefits of iOS 9 is its new folder layout for the iPad. In earlier versions of iOS, folders on the iPad were limited to a 3x3 grid of app icons per page. This allowed users to see a total of 9 apps at once on a single folder page.

In iOS 9, things have changed a bit with regard to folder layout. Apple's newest iOS update allows users to view up to 16 apps per folder page instead.

How to add infinite scrolling to the Home screen and folders in iOS 7

Mobius is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to infinitely scroll on the iOS Home screen and while within folders. It's very similar to the Wraparound jailbreak tweak that we covered back in 2011, except that Mobius works with iOS 7.

Developer Tyler Casson set out on a mission to bring the popular Wraparound functionality to iOS 7 when it became apparent that the Wraparound wasn't going to be updated for iOS 7 any time soon. He's since dubbed his tweak Mobius, and made it available free of charge on his own personal repo.
