iPhone Easter Egg by Google in Mobile Safari Makes My Screen Tilt

Here’s a pretty neat iPhone ‘Easter Egg’ I haven’t seen before. Do the following:

1. Launch Safari
2. Tap on Google Search box
3. Type in ’tilt’ and tap Search

Voila. See, I wasn’t lying! Only the Google search result page for ’tilt’ is tilted, nothing else. Are Google engineers having some fun here, or Apple?

Looks like ’tilted’ does the same thing

What’s interesting is that is works on my iPhone but not with my iPad. I was thinking this wasn’t working anymore until I tried it on my phone.
