iTypeWriter Turns Your iPhone Into A TypeWriter (Kind Of)


If you’ve ever said to yourself whilst writing a text: ‘I wish my iPhone sounded like an old-school typewriter’ then I have the tweak for you. Unfortunately, for all the normal people reading this post, the tweak costs $0.99 - and isn’t really worth it.

iTypeWriter effectively swaps out the clicky iPhone typing noise that many of use have grown to love for a typewriter styled one. Don’t get me wrong, the tweak does what it says, and it actually does it relatvively well. But for $0.99, I just can’t advise opening the purse strings for it.

Of course, if you happen to be one of the people I singled out in the opening paragraph of this post, you’ll almost definitely want to go pick this up. The noises it produces are in fact quite nice and it makes a nice change from the standard clicking.
The tweak also comes with a haptic keyboard feature, which is worse than any haptic keyboard I’ve ever had the displeasure to use. SimpleHapticKeyboard is a much better free option.


As I said, iTypeWriter is available for $0.99 from the ModMyi repo. Unless you’re really into old-school awesome, this is one I’d stay away from.
