We also get Linux on iPhones??
And the talk is just about sideloading… :-)

I personally can’t wait for open sourcing of mobile drivers / driver apis. That will finally allow stuff like turning off phone components for Linux mobile system and not have gyro for some specific phones.

Wouldn’t putting Android on an iPhone be redundant? It would have less features and capability for a higher cost.

What’s up with the creative commons link? Fair points.

Are you saying Android has less features and capabilities? Or am I reading it wrong?
You’re indeed reading that incorrectly. You can see clearly that I’m saying the iPhone with Android OS has less features for a higher cost (Compared To an Android Phone).
The reason that’s implied is because I included cost, because comparing an iPhone with Android to an iPhone with iOS the cost wouldn’t change at all.
iPhone has less lenses, lower megapixels, less zoom, and the charging cables are less effective or in many cases use proprietary charger instead of USB-C, among other things.
Ahh I see, thanks!
The reason I was confused is that I was assuming this is about older iPhones, you know, the ones Apple is deliberately slowing down. So installing a lightweight Android ROM could give them a new lease on life.
I would assume it’s to use the chips but that only works if they’re forced to provide proper drivers for the full hardware
Big if true. Apple owners might actually be owners of their devices.
They don’t care.

Go see all the crazy kids on r/jailbreak asking the same questions over and over
Not true. I’d love to be able to jailbreak again. I’m locked in to the ecosystem by work and a backlog of apps 15 years deep.
Granted I’m on Lemmy so I guess I’m not a normal iOS user
Yeah it’s literally a status symbol amongst kids.
My kid is desperate for one but can’t give me a single compelling reason apart from they’re seen as cool.
Just give your kid an iPhone from AxiExpress

lol right
Good luck getting any of the hardware to work properly without Apple’s help.
It’s actually not that hard once you have access. ARM Chips can be difficult to get into, but programming for them is not that hard. The peripherals and other segments might be married components but that should be fine as long as they don’t get swapped out at any point.
