As many of us know all too well, dropping a smartphone on the ground can be an almost painful experience.

To add some levity to the situation, a new tweak from Reddit's devoted jailbreakers will make your iPhone literally scream in pain when it's dropped.

The tweak, which Reddit users think was likely inspired by this comic from xkcd, was posted to r/jailbreak and subsequently made it to Reddit's front page.

Other famous screams were substituted, too, including those of Goofy, Homer Simpson and Spongebob Squarepants.

Since the tweak requires a jailbreak, it won't be available to those running iOS 8, which hasn't been jailbroken yet, though it's likely only a matter of time.

Android users who are looking for a similar feature can try the iScream app, which also makes your phone scream in cyber pain when dropped.
