The Old School iOS 14 icon set has been created by digital designer Ben Vessey as a solution for iPhone users looking to change up the way their home screen looks on their device. The icon set includes more than 110 macOS-inspired icons from 1984 that have been reworked to have them appear as though they are right out of yesteryear. This will transform the latest generation devices into a decidedly simplistic solution that appears monochromatic at first glance.
The Old School iOS 14 icon set is made possible thanks to the latest operating system Shortcuts app that will enable users to switch out existing icons for others by simply setting up a shortcut. The icon set is likely to be favored amongst users seeking out a way to infuse a retro touch into their smartphone experience.
