Maybe not the first smartphone in history, the first iPhone, but it added iOS, one of the most common software in history, to our lives. Then we came across Android from Google and the conflict between these two has been going on for 15 years.

On the other hand, Apple’s software is known for not being able to run on a device not manufactured by Apple. However, a programmer has found a way to run the historically valuable iPhone OS 1.0, which at least comes pre-installed on iPhones.

This is how iPhone OS 1.0 looks on the computer:

developer also known as devos50 Martin de Vosdid a lot of reverse engineering to run the first version of iPhone OS on PC. Also, his preferred version is the one used on iPods. iPhone OS 1.0 it happened:

The developer stated the reasons for this decision in his blog and said that this version have fewer security measures and it is preferred because it is less complex. He also stated that the most challenging thing for him is emulating the hardware components on the iPod touch.

Another reason to prefer the iPod version over the iPhone version is your iPodIt is less complicated and easier to copy due to its nature. Because even in this state it was stated that it takes more than a year of work to develop the emulator.

Although there are some minor flaws and some applications cause crashes, the emulator ensures that you can use pre-installed applications without any problems. An open source visualization platform from the developer QEMU and it is claimed to use OpeniBoot, an open source Apple bootloader.
