Open the app, and the slider shows all the years from 1983 to 2025. If you move the slider to the far left ot 1983, you can receive and make phone calls only. Slide it to 1992 and you can receive text messages. Move further to 1996 and you can surf the internet, then to 1999 and you can get video calls. Kind of fun to take a little history tour, plus could be good if you want to limit your phone use to just getting calls and texts by sliding it to the left.

Here's the slider set to 1996. https://www.dropbox...=1&st=zh6tb4sp&dl=0
It would have an actual phone from that year though. [doctorremulac3, May 20 2025]

       Don't forget to adjust the display resolution and color accordingly, too. Remember, the first displays were monochrome only, and VGA-level icon graphics.

       Oh of course. Did I forget to add that you get an image of that phone too? Oops! So yea, you get an image of a flip phone or whatever year/model as appropriate.   

       Pretty sure this would be a pretty doable app.
