The iPhone 15 Pro is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, but is it capable of running Windows 11? Thanks to NTDEV, we know that yes it is possible to move the mentioned operating system on this terminal, but the experience is not good and there is also a “trick” because it was necessary resort to version tiny11 to run it on your Apple smartphone.

I’m sure most of our readers already know exactly what tiny11 is, but for those of you who may have missed it, I’ll explain in a moment. This is the version of Windows 11 that was reduced and optimized minimize its resource consumption and requirements. The difference is so big that this version can run on a PC with only 2GB of RAM.

However, keep in mind that an emulator is required to run Windows 11 on iPhone 15 Pro. In this case UTM SE was used and the truth is this the result was not good at all, not even with tiny11. It is curious because the apple smartphone has an A17 Pro SoC, 8GB of RAM and has a CPU with 6 cores (2 high performance and 4 high efficiency).

It takes 20 minutes to boot Windows 11 on iPhone 15 Pro

This data alone gives us an idea of ​​how slow this operating system performs on Apple’s flagship. We are emulating an x64 OS on an ARM system, hence the performance issues should not surprise us. However, it would be interesting to see how the ARM version of tiny11 fares.

The overall performance of Windows 11 on the iPhone 15 Pro is very poor, so much so that the user experience was rated as “grapes”, However, it is still curious how the said operating system works on an Apple smartphone. The person responsible for this experiment has commented that he is considering uploading a video so we can see it in motion, but has not yet released it.

If tiny11 works like this on an iPhone 15 Pro, it is most likely a stock version of the said operating system. works even worse, and this shows significant performance issues with even the most basic tasks. It’s fine as a curiosity, but it’s clearly not viable at all.
