Some people are of the opinion that an iPhone customized with themes and background looks, and feels, better than the original; if you happen to think on the similar lines here is a list of best iPhone themes which will help you add to the style quotient of your Apple device.
Theming is undoubtedly one of the most important attributes of iPhone customization, but the fact that you need to jailbreak your iPhone to customize it makes many people think twice before opting for the same. Jailbreaking is no more considered unethical in the United States; which means your only concern, if you do intend to opt for it, would be the fact that it will void the warranty of the product. If you are fine with that, you can just go ahead and customize your iPhone by resorting to various themes available on replacement software like the Cydia.
Apple iPhone Themes
With thousands of themes to choose from, you will hardly face any difficulty when it comes to Apple iPhone customization. Most of us are familiar with themes which are available on Cydia, also referred to as the ‘WinterBoard themes’ as you need the WinterBoard app to activate them, that are stored in Cydia Theme Center. While Cydia, no doubt, happens to be the best alternative for the iOS, it is not the lone player in contention. iPhone themes, both free and paid, are also available on the new breed of iPhone theme stores, like ThemeIt and iThemeSky, which are quite popular among those who resort to jailbreaking. The themes of your choice can be downloaded from these stores, and activated using theming tools such as the WinterBoard.
Best Themes for the iPhone
As far as iPhone themes are concerned, there is something for everybody, and it would be least surprising if you have a tough time trying to figure out which theme is the best. It may come as a surprise for many, but the best themes for iPhone available at the Cydia Theme Center are just a part of the large world which also includes iPhone compatible themes from sources like iThemeSky and ThemeIt. A look at the list of 20 iPhone themes which can give your iPhone that much desired look, will tell you exactly what we are talking about.

As you see, nearly all the iPhone themes enlisted above are HD themes; and are only compatible to Apple iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. (Some might be compatible to the 3GS model, but the experience will not be at par with that of the new models.) The transition from High-Definition (HD) themes to Standard Definition (SD) themes also shows that even small developers are heading working hard to keep pace with the stalwarts of the field. You also need to note that, these themes are exclusively meant for the iPhone, and not the iPad.
Cydia, and other such alternatives, have a lot to offer when it comes to iPhone customization, and that’s exactly the reason why people opt to jailbreak their Apple products even after being aware of the fact that it would void the product warranty. Once you installed a replacement software, the iPhone themes available at ThemeIt, Cydia or iThemeSky, will be just a ‘finger-tap’ away for you; and theming is just one of the several perks that these replacement software have to offer.
