Do you know of an annoying colleague that always shows around his shiny new iPhone? Does your wife or brother or sister usually get and use it? Would you like to get back at them?
If you're able to get your hands on his phone while he or she is gone for several minutes, then you are by now after the most difficult phase. When it comes to a colleague, wait until they're away for their business meeting or to the bathroom and left their smartphone on the table. This could require a certain amount of careful planning as well as waiting, however it will likely be worth your efforts. With brothers and sisters this ought to be even easier because you more than likely are living with them.
One thing you could do is actually alter the language controls to a foreign language like Chinese. Go to Settings -> General-> International and then Language.
A different hilarious trick you could try would be scrambling the organization of most of the icons. Just tap and hold some app until they are all constantly moving, after which just move them around, even going to additional screens.For anyone who is using the newest iOS version, you may arrange them in categories that do not make sense. The phone should allow you to rename the categories or folder when you see the inside of one.
Obviously, you have the well known wallpaper altering stunt. While using the newest version of iOS (4.0 and above on iPhone), users are able to choose a background. If you can can get a really amusing (or even offensive) photograph, then that could work. Simply locate it in Safari, press and hold the image, and tap Save Image. Then, go to the Wallpaper option within the Settings menu and pick the image you just saved.
Last of all, a great prank would be to take a screen shot of their background, displaying that, and then locking the phone. If the user unlocks their iphone, they'll be puzzled as to why their apps aren't responding. The downside of this method is that after a user taps, the image viewer's (blank) bar displays, hence the gag loses its effect pretty quickly. Nonetheless, there are a few apps which solve this problem and offer all kinds of other fantastic gags and tricks.
