::::see https://eshard.com/posts/emulating-ios-14-with-qemu , eShard, a cybersecurity company, successfully managed to run partial iOS 14. This article details the journey of researchers in successfully emulating iOS within QEMU, starting with initial attempts using open-source projects and progressing through overcoming various challenges. They utilized PongoOS for patching, developed custom tools for binary patching, and explored software rendering as a way to handle graphics. Significant hurdles included implementing a framebuffer, disabling address randomization for debugging, and bypassing security features like pointer authentication. Ultimately, by emulating an iPhone X chip ID and patching various system components, they achieved a functional iOS lock screen with a working textbox. They did get the home screen and system apps running but it's unknown weather it supports third party apps) As of 2025, it has achieved even more via https://eshard.com/posts/emulating-ios-14-with-qemu-part2 , able to run lots of modern apps.
