iPhone icons and wallpaper themes

Post by zach1080 » March 25th, 2010, 2:27 am

Hey tell me what you think about this idea thought an please definitely add. I think that the iTunes app store should sell the icon themes that change yet icons and wallpaper to match. Like my friend had a fallout 3 theme and anothr on with flames. How do you get this?

I have a clearer thing that can help explain what it said. I think that apple or iTunes should sell different springboard themes

People with different icons and fonts have jailbroken their phones and used various utilities to get those results.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

iPhone OS 4.0 addresses one of the issues the original poster raised allowing customized backgrounds on the home panel. To that I would say "it's about time."

However, I think it's understandable why Apple doesn't have any built in means to change icons.

If you're used to Apple and it's entire history and have been using their products for decades, then it's understandable in the sense that it's what you'd expect from Apple. Apple's side of the story is, they want to maintain a uniform and predictable user experience - that anyone can jump from any iPhone to any other iPhone and immediately feel at home. It's the same way it's always been on Macs.

If you really value that capability that much, you're free to buy any phone from any other manufacturer you want. Apple's strategy seems to have worked out for them so, I'm betting they're not changing any time soon.
