Windows XP Running on the iPhone 7 [Video]

Posted March 13, 2017 at 8:13pm by
Hacking Jules has posted a video of the iPhone 7 running Windows XP. The feat is made possible via the bochs x86 emulator (iBox 2).

It appears as though the emulator was side-loaded via Xcode. You can find GitHub page for iBox 2 here.


Take a look at the video below!

To some - this may be a pointless exercise, to others, it may be a huge breakthrough. Personally, I'm on the fence - however, I did notice the clock time shifts a great deal throughout the video - so the recording has skipped a lot or the VM's clock isn't working properly.
