The camera has built-in Bluetooth that's used to connect to an iPhone. With the iOS app, you can remotely trigger the camera -- a nice option if you want to be in your shots or simply don't want to shake the camera by pressing the shutter release. But what really expands the camera's usability is access to a manual mode. With it shutter speeds can be set from 1/250 of a second to 30 seconds and the aperture range covers f8 to f60.
There are also creative tools in the app for doing things like light painting and multiple exposures. More tools are being developed in house and, depending on interest, they're considering an open software development kit.
If you don't want to use the app, though, you can just turn the camera on and shoot. Around the shutter release on the right side is a ring that turns the camera on (it also switches on the Bluetooth). Half-press the shutter release to focus and finish pressing down to take your shot with all the camera settings handled automatically.

My first glance at the picture, before reading anything, was what a strange looking retro phone.

You're right, John! It looks like the 1950s idea of what the phone of the future would look like!

The phone of the future. It allowed you to take a picture of yourself while you were talking to someone. Then you could mail it to them so that they could see what you looked like during your phone conversation a few days ago.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

in 2008, the last Polaroid film factory closed and the Impossible Project stepped in and bought its machines. It had to reengineer the instant film from scratch, but it is now the only manufacturer of original format instant films for Polaroid cameras. The I-1 camera has the simplicity of those old cameras while also taking advantage of the smartphone in your pocket.

And do the prints fade in one year like the original Poloroid prints?

The retro look is pretty cool, but it seems like it would be a bit bulky to actually carry around.

It doesn't look much different than the original camera and we didn't have a problem carrying that around

That is a strange looking camera. Awhile back I looked on the impossible film site for instant film. I have an old Kodak camera I won from Tupperware. Shortly after that Poloroid sued Kodak on copyright. I wonder if the camera you posted has one of those frog tongues to slow down exposure.
