;Cycada
: **Cycada** (2014), formally known as Cider is an unreleased reasearch project made by a few folks at Columbia that ran iOS 5.1.1 and experimentally iOS 6 apps at a high, but not perfect quality and compatibility (see paper for list). It is based on pirated iOS libraries. It is seriously not reccomended to initiate contact with the developers of the project, as they never planned on releasing it and want people to use their paper to reproduce it with "significant effort". You may try to recreate Cycada on your own, provided that you know the internals of Android, iOS, XNU, and Linux.

:TruEmu
;**QEMU-t8030** (2022), also known as TruEmu, is an iPhone 11 emulated in QEMU, however it does not have a display yet, and seems abandoned. [Source code](https://github.com/TrungNguyen1909/qemu-t8030) - [Presentation](https://i.blackhat.com/USA-22/Thursday/US-22-Nguyen-TruEmu.pdf)
:iEmu
;**QEMU-s5l89xx-port** (2012), also known as iEmu is another failed attempt to get an iPhone running in QEMU, this time the 1st generation. The last commits were made in 2013. Any Android app going by the name iEmu is a *scam* and should be avoided.
