A hacker under the name Hacking Jules has made the possibility of installing Windows XP on an Apple iPhone 7. The method was done without jailbreaking the iPhone7. The hacker made use of an emulator to successfully install Windows XP in the iPhone 7.
In their YouTube channel, hacker jules demonstrated how it was installed. An emulator called the iBox-2 was used to do the installation. The emulator was installed using X-Code which helped the process without jailbeaking the iPhone 7.
The iphone7 is one of the fastest smartphones on the market today. It is considered as such because of Apple’s A10 Fusion chip in the iPhone 7. This makes the iPhone 7 powerful than the desktop PC capable to run older versions of desktop operating systems.
In the video, it can be seen that the Windows XP took a long time to load. Windows XP did not run smoothly despite with the A10 Fusion chip and 2GB of RAM of the iPhone7. This is because of the fact that it is ran by an emulator which hghly impacts the performance significantly.
Regardless, this is just a completely amazing trick. There’s really nothing productive that can be done from installing the Windows XP in the iPhone7 except to show that in fact that it can be done according to Cult of Mac.Users who are interested to try this can obtain instructions and the necessary files from GitHub.
This kind of hacking trick is not only confined to the iPhone 7. Luca Todesco, a nineteen year old hacker extraordinaire, has successfully hacked and jailbroken several iPhones before and has recently shared that the Nintendo Switch can aslo be hacked. The NES Classic Edition is one the hackers and modders favorite to hack. Currently, the effect of hacking the NES Classic Mini can result in installing the entire 700-game library of the NES and FamiCom with games from other consoles like GameBoy, Super NES and Sega.
