The short answer
Sora 2 has been retired. Cinefuse does not offer Sora or Veo. Instead, you get five frontier models on iPhone under one subscription: Grok Imagine, Seedance 2.0, HeyGen Video, HappyHorse 1.1, and Seedance 2.5.
What happened to Sora on iPhone?
OpenAI discontinued its Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026. See OpenAI’s Sora discontinuation notice for the official details. Creators searching for a “Sora app for iPhone” now can explore a new workflow with the models available in Cinefuse.
Cinefuse used to route generations through Sora 2. That model has been retired. The same native iPhone app now routes to the current lineup, so you can still write a prompt, pick a model, and export vertical video without a desktop.

Example prompts to try
"A lone astronaut walking across a vast red Martian landscape at sunset, long shadows, dust particles in the air, cinematic wide shot, epic and desolate."
"Close-up of a luxury watch on a wrist, water droplets falling in slow motion, dark background, dramatic studio lighting, premium product video."
"A futuristic city at night seen from above, flying vehicles weaving between glass towers, neon reflections on wet streets, aerial drone shot, 4K cinematic."
