A jailbreak developer who goes by the name of “iPhoneKillerStyle” has thought up a unique Siri mod that replaces the mic icon with Steve Jobs’ silhouette. As you can tell, the mod is pretty detailed. It even allows for multiple Siri mic colors.
It took hard work to create this mod, and you’ll hopefully be seeing it soon in Cydia. If you recognize the image of Steve’s silhouette, it’s probably because you’ve seen it other familiar places before.
Our own Leander Kahney used this image on the front cover of his New York Times best-seller, Inside Steve’s Brain. The silhouette has also been remixed in lots of Apple fan art, including the hugely-popular black and white Apple logo that Jonathan Mak created after Steve Jobs passed away.
iPhoneKillerStyle plans to charge $1 for his Siri mod once he can get it hosted on an official Cydia repository for jailbreakers.

Lame (and false). Â It’s a simple icon which is itself just a rip off of someone else’s design. Â how could this remotely be described as “hard work”? Â It comes in multiple colours? Wow. That must have taken all of four minutes with the colour balanced control in PShop.
It’s not worth a dollar. Â It’s just some freeloader trying to rip people off by repurposing someone else’s content and riding the coat-tails of their success. Â The developer should be ashamed and you should be ashamed to promote it.
This looks like a strange hybrid of a bug’s body and a human head. It’s poorly designed.
If they really wanted to use his silhouette in this, they should have done just that.Â
The bulbous stump and mic stand are unnecessary.
Looks pretty creepy…. sort of like some weird peanut bug
All of the technology problems in the world to solve and someone spent time doing this? Â Then someone wasted time writing about it, and worst of all people wasted time writing comments about someone’s writing about it. Â It’s like negative energy…and a creepy thing to do by the way.Â
yeah.Â
Now if it had Steve’s voice also, that might be worth the price
Hard work? Nah hard work is Neurotech Siri which has over 300 seperate frames, no much wonder CoM is now the last feed I read on my RSS feed.
Professor Partypooper strikes again
I can’t help it if half the writers here need adult supervision and help with their spelling and research. Â They should hire smarter writers with a working moral compass. Â
John and Nicole are generally both great BTW (see I said something positive).Â
This is pretty much the ugliest thing I’ve seen in ages – the complete antithesis of the Apple aesthetic.
Please stop posting this worthless shit.
That is horrifying.
