- nudded 17y agoif it were the simulator he couldn't have used multitouch since that requires you to press the Option key (it also shows 2 white, semi-transparant circles).
- drewcrawford 17y agoMore like they recompiled springboard and some other core iPhone apps to run under OSX. This is why you can use real Foundation types in the simulator that don't exist on the phone (NSCalendarDate), why you can use OpenGL extensions on the simulator that don't exist in hardware, and why certain UIKit transitions (i.e. Curl) don't work in the simulator. All the simulator is doing is running UIKit, Springboard, etc. compiled for OS X and running in an iPhone-shaped window.
- st3fan 17y agoWhy do you think they would have the Springboard source code? These are people from an effects studio in Sweden ... there is no reason they should have that code I think. I'm also convinced now it is a good fake.
