Top Tricks For the iPhone

By Pietro Ferrari


Do you hate that annoying coworker who typically shows around his sparkly new iPhone? Does your boyfriend or girlfriend or brother usually take and mess with it? Would you want to get some revenge?

If you're able to get your hands on his or her iPhone while that person is gone for a couple of minutes, then you're already past the trickiest step. When it comes to a coworker, hold back until they are gone for that business meeting or to the bathroom, yet for some reason left their phone on the desk. This will likely require careful planning and waiting, but it will be well worth your efforts.

With siblings this should actually be easier as you more than likely are living with all of them, and there are thus more chances to pull the trick.

The very first thing you could do is modify the language controls into a really strange language such as Chinese. Go to Settings -- General -- International and then Language.

A different amusing trick you could try is shuffling the organization of all of their apps. Just press and hold some icon till they are all constantly moving, and then just move them all around; feel free to take them to other screens. If you happen to be upgraded to the newest iOS version, you may organize them in folders that don't make sense. To do this, drag one icon onto another. The device should then permit you to rename the groups or folder when you look inside one of them.

Obviously, there is the well known wallpaper replacing stunt. If you have the most current version of iOS (4.0 and above on iPhone), you can choose a background. All you need it to get a really funny (or unpleasant) image. You will need to locate it in Safari, press and hold the picture, and tap Save Image. Then, proceed to the Wallpaper option inside the Settings menu and choose the photo you just took.

Ultimately, a really amazing gag would be to take a screen shot of your victim's background, displaying it, and locking the device. Once the user uses their iphone, they'll wonder why their icons aren't working. The disadvantage of this prank is that whenever a person taps, the image viewer's bottom bar will display, so the prank will lose its effect fairly quickly.

Having said that, there are a few apps that fix this problem and offer a number of other excellent pranks and tricks.
