When I compare my iPhone 4S to my friend's iPhone 5, I notice that his elongated screen gives him an extra row of applications. Am I jealous? Yes, a little.
Unfortunately, we can't alter the physical form of our device, but we can tweak our icon layout to add more apps snugly together on our home screens using a mod from Cydia.
For this process, you will need a jailbroken iPhone 4S or above running iOS 7, so if you're not jailbroken yet, then check out our easy article detailing how to jailbreak your iOS 7 device for help.
Step 1: Install Five-Column SpringBoard
Head on over to your pre-installed Cydia application, then search and download the free Five-Column SpringBoard tweak.
Step 2: Enable Tweak
After you installed it properly, go into your Settings application and scroll down until you see the Five-Column SpringBoard options. From here, you will enable the tweak and wait for your device to restart.
Step 3: Squeeze Those Apps Together
You're now ready to squeeze in some extra apps on your home screen. The apps have an overlaying-look, so until the icon resizing tweak is patched over for iOS 7, you'll have to deal with this, but I actually like it.
