iPhone Launcher 8.7.1.0
For those who yearn for the beautiful visuals of iOS powered devices can now enjoy a flavor of it onto their Windows Phone handsets thanks to an application that has a suggestive name: iPhone Launcher.
Impressive appearance and ease of use
This app received a really shiny look thanks to the beautiful graphics and background images that look a lot like those you would encounter on an iPhone. Unfortunately, some advertisements will appear in some section of iPhone Launcher, right across the center of the screen.
The visual customization options for this utility will allow you to pick the desired lock screen and wallpaper images from the few but awesome looking pictures included in the package.
The navigation among the various areas of the application is relatively fluent, but not as smooth as on a real iOS device, as there are some slight delays that become quite noticeable when making the comparison with the original.
Customizable launcher with useful shortcuts at hand
By default, the app comes with several tiles pinned to each screen and some locked into position in the transparent dock that resides, as usual, in the lower side of the screen. You should note that in order to open those utilities you must have them installed onto your Windows Phone, otherwise you will be prompted to search for them in the Store.
To replace any item from both areas you can simply tap and hold the respective tile and have it substituted with a different one for the list of available shortcuts. This can be useful because, as you will surely notice when browsing through the Home screen, the same items appear several times in different areas.
Easily access to commonly used system settings
iPhone Launcher will bring you one of the features of Apple's mobile operating system introduced with iOS 7, namely the Control Center, which can be accessed by swiping upwards.
Inside this area you will find the shortcuts to network, data and other areas of the system, as well as the basic music controls. To reach even more options from inside this launcher you will have to resort again to the "Settings" menu where a handful of quick links await to be put to good use.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The appearance of this application resembles a lot that of the default theme in iPhones, but it has some glitches and some annoying ads inside. |
Function7
There are quite a few useful features inside iPhone Launcher, but users cannot access the Apps list, nor add custom shortcuts to any of the tools installed onto their handsets. |
Security9
Given its functional profile, the app has to have access to many sensitive system areas, even if for one or two it seems unclear why it wants to look into them. |
Battery3
The demand for energy is very high and the application takes up a massive amount of battery power at all times. |
Price9
Free of costs, but not of nuisances, this utility is a pretty good deal for any user and this makes it have a lot of value overall. |
Compatibility9
iPhone Launcher will run without issues on any device that is powered by Windows Phone 8 or above. |
