“Launcher iOS 16” Image via Google Play Store

22 AUGUST 2022 - A question for any Android users listening: Are you sure you don’t just want an iPhone? Cult of Mac has word of some interesting app download numbers from the Google Play Store. The apps highlighted are called “Launcher iOS 16” and “Phone 13 Launcher, OS 15.” They make the screens of Android phones look like iPhones and they have been downloaded over 50-million times each.

They’re free to download - in that they don’t cost money. However one contains ads while the other contains ads and in app purchases. I’ve never heard of either developer. I don’t know anything about their privacy policies nor data collection practices…

I am all for people who like Android using Android. But if you want that iPhone look and feel… I have a suggestion.
