Not every blogger owns iPhone, but they do have a blog which gets quite some good visits from iPhone. So optimizing your websites and blogs for iPhone is a good thing, and that might also improve your brand and increases traffic. You can either optimize it completely or create an iPhone app for your blog.
Below I mentioned 2 useful web based iPhone simulators which will be useful for you to check how your sites look on Apple iPhone. You can also try iPhoney, but this one is desktop based.
Web Based Apple iPhone Simulators
#1 – TestiPhone : This is a web browser based simulator for quickly testing your iPhone web applications. This tool has been so far tested and working using Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 2 and Safari 3.
#2 – iPhone 3G/4G Tester : This is another web based iPhone simulator. To test your pages more accurately use the latest version of Safari. This simulator is an iPhone 3G/4G & iPod Touch tester.
You can also test your mobile site with these simulators. If you check your analytics you will be surprised to know how many people visit your blog from mobile/handheld devices. If you know any other online iPhone simulator, kindly share them here.
It doesn't exactly test websites actual appearance in mobile Safari… Looks like just an iFrame…
These tools are no more helpful to me. My site look is different for mobiles ;(
Nice handy tool. Thanks for sharing. But too bad it didn’t support other mobile OS like Android.
I like to add iPhone4Simulator, it also allow you to check how your blog looks on iPhone
Nice share dude 🙂
btw I used to know some other way to check.. but this1 is quite easy
Even if you have WP-Mobile, or WP DPA plugins on your wordpress, these simulators show normal webpage instead of mobile specific layout. I think Opera mini simulator is better to check website on mobile.
These are not true revelations of how our blog would look like, but it atleast gives us a basic idea of how our blog will fit into a particular resolution device!
not giving the perfect result but somewhat close to that…… overall nice share….
Cool tools , thanks for the share buddy 🙂
well it is easy to view the mobile view without buyin a New iPhone to test it…
these days every popular blog is about to get 20-30% visitors from Handheld/Mobiles..so optimizing our site is the best choice for bloggers…thanks for sharing these resources..
I use ibbdemo and that is also a great desktop app to check how your blog looks on an iPhone or iPad.
Its really worked. Can i ask you a Question Pradeep that how many mobile visitor do you have in a month or what is percentage of mobile visitors to desktop visitor ?
About ~20% visitors came from mobile/handheld devices last month.!!
Great application, my blog works fine when opened with this iphone simulator… any method to run iphone games on pc any emulator.
i am also looking for the answer of this question?
wow….this looks cool…must check out today……
hello pradeep,
it’s a great news for all blogger specially who don’t have iPhone of their own. it’ll help them to develop their site for smart phones like iPhone. thanks a lot for sharing.
I didn’t know that any such web app exists. Tested my own blog and luckily it was perfect. Good app for people who don’t own iPhone.
That was an awesome share mate – very useful 🙂
nice share 🙂
Nice handy tool. Thanks for sharing. But too bad it didn’t support other mobile OS like Android.
not a bad share at all
Nice sites to show up blogs in iphone…..cool sharing….
Thanks for this useful tool. Now, I know what I need to improve for better mobile version site. 🙂
testiphone.com doesn’t show my website when I tested my URL…
Dude, I guess they are just iframes. My blog looks completely different when viewed on an iphone. I had a theme switcher enabled when a mobile device browses ma blog. Both these links are not switching my theme. I have tested it on android device previously and it worked fine.
These are not true tests mate! But it is pretty close, you can feel the iPhone experience & check whether the size fits or not. 🙂
I agree with him..
My blog looks different as well if i view it via iPhone?
Thanks for the lists anyway!
