I wonder if i could di the opposite: make an iPad believe it’s an iPhone. I don’t see no reason why i couldn’t use my iPad’s built-in modem to make and receive calls. I mean, i could just bring my ipad and my airpods around and be done.
- halapro 11mo agoAn iPhone for $399? Preposterous
- trvz 11mo agoiPadOS 26 brings the Phone app to iPad, so you can do exactly that now.
- znpy 11mo agoThat still requires an iPhone to be around though. Basically extra hardware that shouldn't be needed. So that's still BS.
- kotaKat 11mo agoLong, long ago there were some jailbreak hacks to pull this off. It was some funky mess with swapping modem firmware and pulling in the iOS dialer, if I recall. Closest thing you can get now is that they finally brought the dialer app to the iPad... I can sort of make calls now through my cellular iPad using my iPhone's voice account with the "wifi calling on other devices" feature.
- badc0ffee 11mo agoAssuming you're talking about the cellular modem - wouldn't you need to have a voice plan and a phone number, not just a data plan like you'd typically get for a tablet?
