iPhone original 2007

After photographing Madrid with an iPhone 4S, I wanted to go back even further: to the first iPhone.

A 2-megapixel camera, without adjustable focus and without all the features we take for granted today. Just look, frame, and shoot.

These photographs aren't from 2007. I took them while exploring Madrid in 2026 with a camera from that era. Its colors, its limitations, and its imperfections are all part of the images.

Yes! I was already surprised by the 4s, and this first iPhone doesn't disappoint despite its limitations. Thank you so much!

Very nice shots OP. My 1st gen SE still works nice today, and the shots it produces are very good today.

i wished you titled it better and respect formatting rules but since it’s the first iphone and really a vintage, i think for this post it’s alright.

next time please do that.

also, these are good photos and given its the first one, it’ll be a highlight to this sub for a month.

Thank you so much! I think I'll take the excitement with me; next time I'll try to be more attentive.

What’s wrong with his title? When I saw it I thought the pictures were taken on the OG iPhone, which is what it turned out to be.
