<p>In 2010, front-facing cameras were brand new to the iPhone, and there wasn’t a Selfies album in Apple’s Photos app. Oxford Dictionary would select selfie as the word of the year (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/and-the-word-of-the-year-is) in 2013, but a drunken Australian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/19/selfie-australian-slang-term-named-international-word-of-the-year) taking a blurry photo on the internet in 2003 was the rare use of the word before 2012. </p>
<p>Yet, it was the iPhone 4 that made what makes a selfie something mainstream two years before. After a decade of selfies, I have a grounded appreciation for the front-facing camera in my pocket.</p>
