HackiOS boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel (iOS 16.5) on Android phone hardware and runs the unmodified iOS 16.5 user space on top — SpringBoard, apps, Wi-Fi, camera, sound. It works on a POCO X5 Pro via a RAM-only fastboot boot (no flashing) and in QEMU, using a custom EFI loader, UEFI port, and replacement drivers.
Why now: Fresh Show HN demo showing real iOS running on Android silicon, with screenshots and a detailed what-works list — a striking feat of reverse engineering.
Who it is for: Low-level OS researchers, reverse engineers, and tinkerers curious about running Apple's kernel on non-Apple aarch64 hardware.
