There’s nothing quite like owning an iPhone, but one of the many gripes by iPhone users is that their phones look identical to every other iPhone user’s. To combat this, many people use customization techniques to personalize and really make their iPhone truly their own. Check out some of these tricks you can use to break out of the default look and into something that will truly wow your friends!
Jailbreak and Customize
One of the most popular methods for customization on iPhones is jailbreaking. Jailbreaking opens the door and makes it possible to apply incredible changes to your phone that weren’t possible before. Download themes, make the notification center more user-friendly, get tighter control over your text messages and phone calls, and so much more. Keep in mind that jailbreaking voids the warranty of an iPhone, so be sure to give this some thought before going through with it.
Create Matching Lock Screen and Home Screen Wallpapers
Another cool way you can squeeze some more customization out of your device is to create and use matching lock and home screen wallpapers. This way there is a bit of coordination between the two screens on your phone. You can do a lot of things with this. For example, you can use a closed door for the locked screen and an open one for the home screen.
Buy a Unique Case
You can also easily customize your phone by purchasing a unique case for it. Cases make powerful statements about their owners. For example, a leather iPhone case says that you are clean cut and professional while a green, fuzzy iPhone case tells everyone that you have a bit of an exciting side.
Replacing the Front and Back Screen/Plate
This customization tip is intended for more advanced users, but you can purchase custom plates for your iPhone. Some plates come in solid colors while others might have patterns or pictures on them. There are countless options in stores and online to choose from. Be sure that you also purchase the necessary tools or tool kit to be able to replace the plates on the iPhone.
Download Matching Ringtones and SMS Notifications
Lastly, you can customize your iPhone by downloading matching ringtones and SMS notifications. Halloween is right around the corner, so what better way is there to celebrate the spooky holiday than to do so with your notifaction sounds. Maybe you could set your ringtone to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson while you keep a witch’s laugh as your SMS notification! The possibilities are endless.
