Statusbar Appearance

Customize the status bar appearance in the Simulator to 9:41.

RocketSim allows you to customize the status bar of the iOS Simulator.

9:41

You might or might not have noticed, but all of Apple’s devices have the status bar time set to 09:41. Here’s an image from the iPhone product page as an example:

That time used to be 9:42, matching the time of January 9th, 2007 when Steve Jobs announced the first first iPhone. Around 42 minutes into his keynote he mentioned:

“Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.”

Quite the historic sentence for us developers!

With RocketSim, you can apply the same appearance using the 09:41 button:
