The 18-year-old tech enthusiast named Zane (@zzanehip) posted his creation on Twitter on Wednesday, June 9. Zane said that iOS 4 has been “beautifully rebuilt” on SwiftUI. Zane, in a response to a Twitter user’s appreciation even said that he has done this to demonstrate the power on SwiftUI.

Zane’s tweet naturally garnered a lot of attention on Twitter, as it gave people a sense of nostalgia. People also praised Zane’s effort and said that the app showed great vision and dedication. The iOS 4 UI is comeplete with the “slide to unlock” bar. The UI also features iOS icon for apps, dial pad, maps, and images.
