Changing your phone’s battery icon might seem trivial, but why not? If you ever wanted to make iOS 7 look a little more like OS X, then MacBattery has you covered. It’s extremely easy to install, and lets you chose between three different battery icon designs, one of which is inspired by the OS X battery icon. Check out the instructions and video below and enjoy!
