However, many drivers on iOS and macOS are different, even after Apple Silicon. replace iOS’s dyld cache with a re-signed macOS dyld cache replace iOS’s dyld with a patched macOS dyld Thus, for running command line apps, all I needed to do was: For example, both use the same kernel with the same Unix/Darwin foundation. Some part of the iOS kernel/drivers are shared with macOS.

While iOS and macOS share a foundation, their driver are different enough to be incompatible. After a week’s work, we determined: that was a lie. Steve Jobs famously announced that the iPhone “ran OS X”. With this unification, many were wondering: if the exact same processor can run macOS and iOS, what’s stopping jailbreakers from running macOS apps on iOS? software: Catalyst and iOS apps on macOS.hardware: Apple Silicon on iPads and Macs, Smart Keyboard and trackpad on iPads.design: macOS Big Sur’s iOS-inspired styling, iMacs adopting the iPhone’s square lines and colourful back.In the past few years, we saw Apple unify: On the eve of another WWDC, it’s time to reflect on the theme that has linked the past 3 WWDCs: convergence between Apple’s mobile and desktop lines. However, graphical apps will never work: macOS’s WindowServer won’t start, since iOS’s drivers are too different. Good thing that there is competition, so we can get always something better for our money.I ran command line macOS tools, such as Bash and Geekbench, on a jailbroken iPhone by replacing iOS’s dyld shared cache (all of iOS’s code) with macOS’s. I understand why, but still.īut yeah: staying on one side, talking shit about the other side is just childish.

Would I buy an iPhone? No, because I like the option to install another system onto this Poco if I want to. Seems to be safe and actually pretty good quality, but has a price tag many can't afford. Maybe that is why the Apple world is so appealing for some: everything is well built together. Apple's case that system is perfectly optimized for that HW, Windows on the other hand is an all-rounder OS, sometimes crappy optimization, etc. It's a like comparing a Windows 10 PC with a Macbook Pro with the same specs. Moreover for some games I would prefer the iPhone, BUT (is a big but), my Poco has way bigger screen, does not heat up ever, application switches are so smooth and instant, and can do things the iPhone can't (Geforce Now), etc. I have an iPhone 7 for work and just bought a Poco F2 Pro.īoth are great and on paper the SD865 is way out of A10's league, but the look and feel is the same. I have to agree with you, though I am definitely not an Apple fan boy.
