  • I suppose Anthropic has relaxed its safety checks to such an extent that Claude now agrees to port iOS to Android phones?

  • Important to note that a large percentage of the current versions of A and B-tier iOS apps won't run on an iOS this old.

    But this is still a big step for research purposes.

  • Someone finally did this, wow! 2026 just keeps getting more crazy.

  • This is going to be fun. There are already replica phones for the flagship phones that are running a shitty android version that has been customized to look like iOS. People need to tripple check now when buying older used iPhone models.

  • It seems a bit crazy to me, plus now it opens the door to many iPhone copies... we'll have to be very careful

  • It's interesting that this can be done, but why would anyone want to run iOS on Android devices? A more desirable outcome would be running a free Android distro like Graphene on Apple hardware. Or indeed just liberating phones controlled by Google by hacking the bootloader and replacing the OS.

  • There was a time that I would have liked iOS to run on other hardware. These days, it is so clunkly, that the the desire is not there.

  • I found the website to be quite nauseating to look at, so I decided to use the GitHub link instead.

    But it's quite impressive that it works on QEMU, POCO X5 Pro 5G and some Xiaomi devices too.
