07 turns your iPhone into one fictional compact digital camera from 2007. Hold the shutter to focus, release to shoot, and watch each photograph develop through 07’s signature on-device image process. One camera. One look. Nothing to choose. 07 is not a filter you apply afterwards. There is no slider to move and no look to pick. Every exposure is metered as you take it and developed down one of three calibrated paths — ambient, flash, or low light — chosen from the light 07 measured and the ISO the camera actually captured at. Each frame is seeded from itself, so the same photograph always develops the same way. Take the picture, and the picture is the answer. Both of the iPhone’s cameras belong to 07. LENS turns the camera round without leaving the viewfinder: the rear lens carries the zoom ladder, and the front one sits at its own fixed wide and is mirrored in both directions, so the photograph on the card is the one you framed. IMPORT is the second door into the same process. It opens the system Photos picker, so 07 asks for no permission to read your library and receives only the photographs you choose there — up to 100 in a batch. Each one is read for its own exposure facts, developed down the same three paths, and written to the same card as a capture. It costs a frame exactly as a capture does. Every frame is kept in order on Card 01, the app’s private local card, under a four-digit counter that keeps climbing for the life of the camera and never rolls back. Review photographs in playback, see their capture details, add a warm date stamp, and share only when you choose. ALBUMS files frames under names you invent without moving them off the card. SELECT picks any number of frames at once, and SEND hands the whole set to a single share sheet. Optional Save to Photos makes add-only copies without browsing your library. 07’s two-stage shutter rewards a held half-press: focus, exposure, and white balance all lock before the frame is taken, the way a real one did. A quick tap still focuses and captures. Flash, zoom, timers, landscape shooting, direct-flash character, a flash that has to recharge, Card 01, albums, playback, sharing, and the complete 07-developed result are included from the first photograph. 07 includes 36 complimentary developed photographs. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited 07-developed photographs and permanent use of the full card. No subscription. No account. No ads. Camera permission is required to capture. Photos and location are optional. When location metadata is enabled, your current location is written into that photograph; an imported photograph carries the location its own file already recorded, and only while that same setting is on. Photographs are developed on the device; Photos copies may sync according to your Apple settings.

Old Phone Camera turns your iPhone into four legendary cameras from the smartphone era — 2007's grainy VGA original, 2010's crisp glass shooter, 2012's sharper sensor, and 2014's flat, modern look. Every mode recreates the real optics, color science, and quirks of the original hardware, not just a filter slapped on top. FOUR ERAS, ONE CAMERA • Phone 1 (2007) — soft focus, warm color cast, low-res VGA charm • Phone 4 (2010) — the glass-and-steel look, sharper but still nostalgic • Phone 5 (2012) — bigger sensor, cooler tones, the classic 2012 feel • Phone 6 (2014) — flat design era, 60fps video, the last "old" look before modern computational photography DEVELOP AS… Already shot a photo? Re-develop it through any other era's look after the fact, right on your camera roll copy — your original is always safe. INSTANT-PRINT EXTRAS Add a date stamp or an instant-print border to any shot for that authentic pocket-camera feel, without touching the original file. CAPTURE DETAILS See the resolution, JPEG quality, frame rate, and file size behind every shot — because the old phones had real technical fingerprints, and we kept them. Phone 6 mode is free forever. Unlock All Eras once to get Phone 1, Phone 4, and Phone 5 modes plus Develop As for every era — no subscription, no ads, no accounts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Old Phone Camera at none against 07's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
