Quick Launch: New Lock Screen and iPhone Style Notifications on Android


Many Android fans and other people criticize iPhone because of its price and the restriction for Tweaks. Even though people criticize about it, we can see obsession in some people to own an iPhone. It is because of its User Interface and the unique style of Design. Apple may reinvented by copying some old designs, but hey, they are pretty successful when it comes to Design, and that’s the reason many Brands never stop and loves to copy Apple design in their Devices and Software UI. That’s why many developers started creating applications to change the Android’s User Interface similar to the iPhone. Today we have plenty of iPhone style applications, widgets and themes available for Android.

Apart from new style and look, it will make your favorite applications and options handy.
