How to make your iPhone’s Apple logo glow, just like MacBook?

Updated on September 10, 2017

What is the distinguishing feature between an iPhone and MacBook/iMac? Apart from the OS inside which supports a wide range of file types and file managers, etc. I am asking for a visual difference. Still don’t get it? Let me explain. If you see attentively, when the Mac turns on, you will see a glowing Apple log. That is what I am going to cover in this article. How to get the glowing Apple logo on your iPhone.

I don’t know about the iPods as it cannot be torn apart. It requires you to remove the back cover, which cannot be done with the latest range of iTouch devices. They are said to be the true unibody devices. As they are made from a single block.
