My iPhone was getting really old. Its battery health had dropped to 79%, and I noticed that recording videos for a long time could use a lot of battery. Replacing the battery or buying a new iPhone wasn't an option for me. So I built LBC. In one of my 10-minute recording tests, my iPhone used 9% battery with the camera setup I was using. With LBC, the same test used just 3%, about one third of the battery usage. That experience became the idea behind LBC: What if an older iPhone could still be a great camera, even when its battery isn't what it used to be? Built for Older iPhones LBC is a camera built with older iPhones in mind. Phones like the iPhone 6s, 7, 8, X, and older models can still be useful for years, even when their batteries have degraded. LBC focuses on one simple idea: helping you capture photos and videos while using less battery. It's made for long recording sessions, travel, events, outdoor moments, and those times when you don't have a charger nearby. Choose your recording quality, use the volume buttons to capture, dim the screen when you need to, and keep the experience simple. If you have a newer iPhone, you're welcome to use LBC too. But older iPhones are where LBC really belongs. Turn Off the Lights There's a simple habit we have at home: When we leave the house, we turn off the lights we don't need. It saves electricity. And if we're not using the light, why keep it on? I thought the same way about the iPhone screen. When you're recording for a long time, you don't always need the screen to stay bright. The camera can keep recording while the display is dimmed. That's why LBC has the Moon button. Tap it when you want to dim the screen while continuing to record. It's a small feature, but it's part of the idea behind LBC: Use what you need. Turn off what you don't. Capture More. Use Less. LBC gives you a lightweight camera experience for both video and photos, with your captures organized in a built-in gallery. Review your memories, manage them, and bring them back whenever you need them. Because sometimes, the phone you already have is still good enough. It just needs a little help to make the most of the battery it has left. Make It Yours Choose the look and experience that suits you with multiple themes and display options.
