I get it. It didn’t make a ton of sense for them to support two separate photo apps with increasing overlap. But it stings when it’s an artifact of pure craft.

I still keep an iOS 6 device in my desk drawer to reference from time to time as a design archive of sorts. As primitive as some functionality is, the craft in first-party apps from that time is unparalleled. It serves as a baseline and a constant reminder for the type of work we strive to do.
