This is impressive, the energy efficiency of even outdated phone tech is way above server/desktop systems. It seems like phone technology will be the only viable computer technology for virtually all use cases soon. Arguably, Apple already realizes this, with their Apple Silicon computers now very similar in design to an iPhone.
- Steltek 4y agoIt's too bad that Apple hardware is arguably impossible for this use case. You can't flash a custom ROM so you're limited to what the OS allows (which isn't much). And that's only if you have a developer account that can still build and sign apps for old hardware/OSes, which also need to be refreshed every 7 days.
- judge2020 4y agoBest case scenario is to stop updating the OS and wait for a jailbreak, which does allow you to run full virtualization[0]. 0: https://worthdoingbadly.com/hv/ https://worthdoingbadly.com/hv/
