iOS ’86
STUDIO: Anton RepponenDESIGNER(S): Anton Repponen
CLIENT: Self-initiated
Anton Repponen has created a retro interface for the iPhone which he’s named iOS ’86. He explains the idea behind the self-initiated project:
“Many people are mistaken, that I have tried to imagine how the iOS would look like back in 1986, I don’t think that’s the case. It’s like car companies making new cars that look retro, just for collectors or exhibitions only, but not really for driving. I would never use iOS ’86 myself, because I think what Apple has now is much better, and they spent a lot of time perfecting each element. Look at it as a collector item that’s just cool to look at.”
you definitely perfected the look! would be crazy to see this for real.
I think it would be interesting to see how the camera works in iOS ’86!
So good!
Anton, are you the designer biggin’ up your own work
I like this a lot. A good homage to the early Mac UI. I would load this up on my iPhone if it was available. No doubt the jailbrake community will be all over it. Sadly, I doubt if we will see ‘official’ customisation to this level available anytime soon.
