You could use Slow Scan TV. There’s an iOS app to try it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sstv-slow-scan-tv/id387910013

Never did IP with it, but i worked with a team that jerry rigged this to transmit some telemetry from a remote location where external data access was cutoff for several weeks using portable radios.

I would love a youtube/vimeo/whatever video on this. And someone publishing regular SS pictures like news footage or something otherwise particularly relevant if I was somehow in the middle of nowhere with an HF radio and an iphone.
It would be tough. More like a virtual flip book than a video!

In our case, we embedded some data in a QR code. It was one of the more fun little projects but only marginally practical.
