My own iOS, iOS 5.26 (in progress)
iOS 5.26” lately.
Not really trying to make some over-the-top retro concept, but something that actually feels like Apple could’ve evolved from iOS 5/6 naturally.
A lot of modern “iOS 6” concepts feel too crowded to me — too many effects, too much glass, too much going on at once.
I wanted mine to feel simpler, cleaner, and closer to the original philosophy.
Most icons are original/adapted Apple assets instead of AI-generated ones, because I wanted it to feel authentic and usable rather than just nostalgic.
Still a work in progress, but I’m honestly having a lot of fun building this little alternate timeline version of iOS.
