Restore purchases
- Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
- Open Old iPhone Cam.
- Use Restore Purchase from Settings or from the unlock / paywall screen.
- If prompted, sign in to your Apple ID. The app refreshes StoreKit entitlements after a successful sync.
If restore finds no purchase for that Apple ID, you will see a “no previous purchase” style message — that is not a crash. Network is required for the first purchase and for restore sync; already-unlocked devices can keep using the entitlement offline via StoreKit on-device records.
Refunds and billing disputes are handled through Apple (Report a Problem / App Store). After a refund, paid models lock again; photos already saved to Photos are not deleted.
FAQ
What does Old iPhone Cam do?
It captures with your modern iPhone camera and processes the still photo to resemble a historic iPhone look (resolution, field of view, color, noise, lens traits, JPEG, and era shutter UI). Live preview is an approximation; final capture applies the full pipeline.
Which models are free?
iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS are free. Other listed models require the one-time unlock-all purchase.
How much is unlock-all?
US$4.99 one-time non-consumable In-App Purchase (other regions follow App Store pricing). No subscription in v1.
Does the app need the internet?
Camera processing and saving do not require a network. Purchasing and restoring purchases require Apple’s StoreKit / App Store connectivity. The app itself has no accounts, analytics, or app-operated backend in v1.
Where are my photos stored?
When you save, images go to the Photos app with add-only permission. Processing is on-device. We do not upload your photos.
Is video supported?
No. v1 is photo only.
What iOS version do I need?
iOS 17.0 or later.
Which languages are supported?
English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
EXIF says iPhone 4 — is that real?
When the optional EXIF toggle is on (default), the app can write Make “Apple” and Model to the simulated camera name. This is a product feature for the vintage look, not a claim about your physical device. You can turn the toggle off.
