It was possible at one point to run Android on the iPhone 2G and 3G: https://youtu.be/2N2Md2qQ4pc https://youtu.be/2N2Md2qQ4pc
Since then it doesn't really look like any progress has been made on running alternative operating systems on the iPhone.
- ollieparanoid 9y agoI think it can be done, since there was the android on iphone project. In theory, one would need to find the Linux kernel fork that was used at the time, treat it as "vendor" kernel and start the port: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device Regarding fancy 3D graphics: The cool thing is, that we have choice. Just pick a UI that has no high performance demand.
- josteink 9y agoI tried those just for kicks many years ago. Long story short: The lack of HW acceleration made the UI (and thus everything else) extremely sluggish. It wasn't even near usable for anything you'd like to do on a regular basis. It was a good gag to confuse co-workers with though.
