My iPhone broke down . They always told me that the glass of the phone would be almost unbreakable, but I can prove it otherwise. After a small accident, the glass completly broke. The touch screen still works…a bit. It’s a sad loss, but there is no

Caterpillar/Kate for the iPhone

I love my iPhone. There I said it. I know that many will think that this is still a hype and also that it is a piece of shit, but I love it. I think the Installer.app (when you use a jailbroken version) is da bomb and
