The iPhone 4, released 15 years ago, has become popular due to its camera.
Among young users, the iPhone 4 has suddenly become popular. This was noted by The New York Post.
The media journalists referred to data from Google Trends, according to which the number of queries "buy iPhone 4" has increased by 980 percent. The article states that the phone has gained popularity among the young audience due to its low-quality camera, which creates "warm vintage photos."
Gaining popularity 15 years after its release, many consider the iPhone 4 a legendary device. It turned out to be one of the last gadgets released under the leadership of Apple founder Steve Jobs. "A generation disillusioned with big tech companies is returning to a time when hope reigned," the journalists described the sentiments on social media.
At the same time, experts do not recommend using the iPhone 4 or other retro smartphones as a primary device. The Apple device has not received updates for many years, making it easier to hack than other modern gadgets.
"The last version of iOS supported by the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.1.2, a version released in 2014," said Lee Elliott, director of the tech recycling service Compare and Recycle. According to him, the device has missed more than ten years of updates.
