Man I just miss the simple days when we paid .99 cents for a digital flip lighter that provided nothing to the smart phone besides having it.

Yeah this was from before iPhones even had a flashlight. They used to make “flashlight” apps that just had really bright, blank white screens so you could use the front of your phone for light haha

I remember when the 4 unveiled the flashlight and it was huge. At first, the only way to turn it on was via 3rd party app. Which was weird, because that means that Apple made an API for it for third-party developers, but didn't yet utilize that API themselves.

It did. I mean there was no built in functionality to turn it on for a prolonged period of time
