TikTok has brought the 15-year-old iPhone 4 back into the spotlight. The #digicam hashtag has exceeded 347,000 posts, and Compare and Recycle says its demand has surged by nearly 1,000%. Users are chasing the grainy look of its 5 MP camera, while ignoring the fact that the phone only supports up to iOS 7.1.2 from 2014, has gone ten years without updates, and carries risks of data and credential exposure. Institutions advise: transfer photos to a computer via cable, do not log in with an Apple ID, do not install sensitive apps, and keep the phone in airplane mode.
