i got an iphone 4s!!!!

so i wanted to get an old iphone for a long time and use it both as an ipod and a "vintage" digicam in 1 (i already have an actual digital camera but it does me SO DIRTY) and simply because i find the old iphones/ios aesthetic so cool and nostalgic! (and also my friend kinda influenced me to buy one LMAO)

anyways a few days ago i finally got my hands on one and so far im in LOVE!! the retro camera quality is so cute and the old software just brings me back!!

check it out!! i tried to make it as early 2010s coded as possible LOL

and guess what... old apps like instagram, tumblr, discord and pinterest still work!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!! you do have to do a bit of tinkering to get them to work though but its nothing too complicated, im a complete newbie and i STILL managed to do it. if enough ppl ask i might do a tutorial :)

instagram (its a private server so you wont be able to log in your instagram account unfortunately :( )

tumblr

FOLLOW ME!!!

youtube (you can watch and look up any video u want but u cant log in ur account just yet, but theyre working on fixing that!!)

pinterest (sadly it'll throw an error if u try to save a pin but everything else works as far as i know!!)

spacehey on the iphone 4s

did anyone miss the old emojis? :)

the old music app!

if you've also been thinking of getting an old iphone this is ur sign to do it!! if you want a cheaper alternative to a digital camera, an mp3 player, a nostalgic device or a dumbphone to help you with your social media detox then i heavily recommend buying this phone <33

angel_wings..*	1743069874 this is so wild, at 17 this was the coolest thing ever.. I'd snatch it from my bf to take pictures with it because I couldn't have one of my own and this camera was the best :') that was literally only 10 years ago.. it ain't that long, but how tech has escalated Report Comment

kadavera (under construction)	1737192348 this is so nostalgic! I had the first ipad and it was just like this, except I wouldn't go online with it. i do have to say, an old phone isn't an alternative to cameras though, unfortunately, nothing close, while it can be a lot more flattering and easier to use. every camera will do you dirty at first, it takes some experience to find all the tips and tricks, I'm still finding them myself but I can help if you want. I'm curious, what camera are you using? Report Comment yeah obviously it'll never compare to an actual digicam but its close enough? i prefer using it if i wanna take selfies and still have that "retro" camera quality and not look crusty !! my digital camera is a panasonic lumix dmc-lz7 and the pictures are cute i guess but they dont rly have that same warm coloring other 2000s digicams have ykwim? and taking selfies on it is a NIGHTMARE like i said so i'd really appreciate some tips!! xx by ✮ ᴍʏꜱᴘᴀᴄᴇʀᴏʏᴀʟᴛʏ ✮; 1737224424; Report hmm I kinda do see how a phone could compare to a camera with the flash off, specifically. and it's funny you say that cause I actually HATE the warm look. but if you want it, usually it's achieved with flash, turn off the lights in your room and then use the camera, you'll appear very warm, at least in my experience. it's also achievable in other lighting too, though, of course. generally what I've found most flattering is none other than the myspace angle, there's a reason they did that. find a light source, usually the lights on the ceiling, and look up at them so your face is evenly dipped in all the light and hold up the camera to capture the angle. you can do the same with daylight by the window too. to maximise this effect, you can adjust the light-sensitivity, or the "ISO". find that setting and increase it as much as you want. this'll make the camera more sensitive to the light and flash, illuminating your face fully with little-to-no shadow, giving you a more even skin and flattering look. overall, taking good pics doesn't come easy. it takes a lot of time and practice, I personally think it should classify as a SPORT. got me sweating, dehydrated, arms hurting and shit. taking 100 pictures only to like 10-maximum. patience is key, take your time to try out different things, discover what's best, and experiment with the settings your camera has by kadavera (under construction); 1737227907; Report forgot to mention that mirror selfies are also a good option by kadavera (under construction); 1737228129; Report well u see thats the thing, i always take photos with flash but i still cant get that nostalgic warm look ive seen on other cameras (like urs for example). the lighting is more on the cool side which is especially a problem when i take selfies bc im already super pale so the crappy lighting on my digicam just makes me look GHASTLY i guess it depends on each camera. but yeah i rly appreciate the tips, i LUVV the myspace angle but its a bit hard to pull off since i cant see myself, but like u said practice makes perfect! by ✮ ᴍʏꜱᴘᴀᴄᴇʀᴏʏᴀʟᴛʏ ✮; 1737307120; Report you're welcome! to be honest I don't post the warm photos, unless you mean to tell me that yours is even more cooler-toned. then I wouldn't suggest the high ISO settings, it'll definitely make you look even paler. if your skin is cool-toned it can also reduce the warmth. maaaybe warm lighting or brown furniture could help? there is also a chance it's the screen of your camera, unless you've already transferred. I'd need to see examples, I believe there are sites with sample photos if you aren't comfortable posting, now I can only suggest taking your photo somewhat of a distance away from your face, being too close can reflect the flash by kadavera (under construction)*; 1737316683; Report
