This will sound crazy, I know. And I'm 90% sure that it's unworkable. But I gotta ask. I've read that virtual iOS machines are available for testing apps. Tight access control, I know. But ... So with a beefy iPhone or tablet, could one run a tweaked iOS VM? The host machine would handle Interactions with the cell network and Apple. And the virtual iOs would handle userland and apps. And it could be tweaked to work with a different company, use a different app store, etc. Basically be independent from Apple. With it's own FDE etc. It'd basically be a bunch of libraries, utilities and apps to install. Would that be possible? I suppose that it would require liberating considerablr source from Apple.
