HISTORY

About the iPhone 2G

The original iPhone, released in June 2007, included a modest 2-megapixel fixed-focus camera with no flash, no video, and no front camera. Despite its humble specifications, the iPhone's camera was always within reach — in your pocket — which fundamentally changed how and when people took photographs. The iPhone didn't have the best camera, but it was the camera you always had with you, and that changed everything.

RetroCam recreates this look using real optical data: color temperature curves, aberration profiles, grain structure, and tonal response. The result is a live camera effect that feels authentic, not just a filter slapped on top.
