Microsoft did this over a decade ago with Windows Phone and no one was interested.
Seems like the way things are going is VMs, your phone running iOS can just be a jump box to a Mac VM, no need to dual boot an operating system, no need to lose the security iOS provides. I would rather Apple make software that just lets me tailscale like RDP to my Mac mini on my desk from anywhere using my phone, keyboard, mouse.
- odo1242 7mo agoWindows Phone couldn't run the majority of desktop Windows apps (those developed with the "Win32" API). They developed an entirely separate API for Windows Phone apps and it was similarly locked down as iOS/Android.
- chris_money202 7mo agoTrue although that decision was likely due to windows architecture limitations at the time. Windows was still deeply coupled with x86_64 and is still not great with ARM today.
