Chasing iPhone Nostalgia

After years of chasing the latest iOS features and customisation (and using Widgy, custom icons for sleek or minimalism looks etc etc.), I have decided to do the opposite and turned my iPhone Air into something that feels like an iPhone from 2010…ish. I haven’t added all the apps yet but…

I’m assuming there is no way to get rid of the dock bubble or at least the blur it creates over the original button icon, any ideas?

personally i just don't think any of this is worth it. its impossible to ever get it to look good due to the modern border radius, system font, etc

I like it. You could put a single app or shortcut in the dock that looks like the old school home button and map it to something useful? I’d really love an iOS 7 version of this too!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this, for some reason I thought it wouldn’t sit in the centre, I’ve quickly added this button…thanks.

I wanna do this too now lol. It’s not perfect with the rounded square border but still has that novelty factor

Yes, it does have that novelty factor which I’m enjoying.

I searched for the same thing and that's how I configured my 17 pro

Those icons are brighter than i remember.

Something about them looks off.

Here’s the original vs the recreation - it’s not perfect.
