TL;DW: They are using project sandcastle with an exploit available to the iPhone X and below.
Pretty neat. If for no other reason than “because I can”.
Alternate title: Making the iPhone usable
2024 and you’re still fanboying for a mobile os?
The video also says that this method does not support audio, camera and cellular. Not very usable IMO.
It’s kinda like installing windows or Linux on a Mac. Yeah you can, but it’s a really bad experience.
Doesn’t installing Linux on a Mac make it more usable though? Especially when using older Mac, that isn’t supported anymore.
Define usable. Just because the computer is out of support doesn’t turn it into a pumpkin.
But windows and Linux on Macs is a painful experience. By default GPU switching isn’t supported so the dGPU is always on. Even without the GPU battery life takes a huge hit. Broadcom WiFi. The trackpad goes from the best to the absolute worst, and since it’s so big it’s impossible to not accidentally click things.
I have Linux installed on an iMac, a MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, and a Mac Pro ( Proxmox ).
It does not sound like we would agree.
The downvotes make me chuckle. You know, I actually did not really think about how much Apple hardware I had until I listed it off. The Apple fans and I obviously agree on some stuff ( just not the OS so much I guess ).
I do have an iPhone 15 though ( running iOS ). I am not very likely to put Android or Linux on it anytime soon.
I had Android running on my OG iPhone. Must’ve been around Android 2.1 or so.
It was not really usable. More of a curiosity.
