Very little in the realm of "server" or "raspberry pi alternative" could be done with modern iPhones despite even a 2-year old iphone being OP in terms of hardware for most home server tasks. They really work hard to prevent any use besides what's officially blessed by Tim Apple himself. Whether that's "for your own good" or not is a matter of opinion, I happen to think it's lame but don't want to debate it.
- godelski 2y agoI'm not too worried about old iPhones since by then it's pretty likely to be jail broken and no issues there. I mean even if I brick it (and somehow can't recover; so, very unlikely) it was going to be e-waste anyways, right? As far as recycling goes, turning your old phone into a server is a big win. But I'm more interested in being able to use my current bash scripts that run on my Pixel. Backup is really the only important one since I can connect to my computers from anywhere to do anything else
- appendix-rock 2y agoDon’t count on that. There are still holes where certain iOS version ranges or iPhones to this day do not have a jailbreak available.
- godelski 2y agoGood to know, but do you have more specific info? I see plenty of lists like this and I'm not quite sure what's missing from it. https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Jailbreak https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Jailbreak
- andai 2y agoCan you still install Linux on them? That seems like what OP is actually looking for.
- godelski 2y agoIt's not exactly what I need but yeah, linux would be best. But it does look like there is some success https://konradybcio.pl/linuxona7/ https://konradybcio.pl/linuxona7/
