Although everyone is talking about New Nintendo Switch 2there are some users who want to do experiments with the previous one, because they may already have the current one, and it is the time to “play it” trying something that no one has achieved before.
This is the case of an X user (Twitter), called @Patrosi73, who an idea had an idea: Install the operating system of the iPhone (iOS), within the consoleto be able to execute it as if it were an iPhone, but with a different screen and controls.
iOS inside a switch is possible
According to Patryk, he dedicated two whole days to develop a method to execute a Complete compilation of iOS within qemuan open source emulator and virtualizing capable of imitating very different hardware architectures through software. The result was a complete iOS environment that is executed directly on the Nvidia Tegra X1 processor of the Switch console.
The most surprising of all is that It really worksalthough he has a problem, as the author himself comments, and that is the slowest iPhone in the world, since the speed of execution of the system is quite painful, despite being functional. And that we talk about a Nintendo Switch, which does not have a bad hardware, but that is not prepared for an emulation.
Sometimes the important thing is not that something works perfectly, but the simple fact of having achieved it. These types of technical follies are born from curiosity and the desire to try new things. People like Patryk shows that there is still space to surprise with ideas out of the ordinary.
In summary, yes, Patryk got it, and a Nintendo could have emulate an iPhone with iOS, despite the fact that the speed is very slow. This is great satisfaction for the author, because it is not something simple, and those two days of dedication, at least, served for something and was worth it.
It is true that if we want to download something, or execute a somewhat complex app, it would not work, or it would take so long that it would end up corrupting, but hey, it is a demonstration that with patience and knowledge, things can be done that nobody had occurred to it before. Will you try it now on an Android mobile?

It would be curious to see if The new Switch 2 would be able to run with the fastest speedalthough it really does not make much sense or utility, but it is funny to see these types of ideas that people have, and especially when they manage to carry out, despite the fact that iOS is a very closed system and difficult to attach to these types of devices that are not prepared for it.
And you, had you ever seen something similar? Did you think I was going to work? The truth is that we do not have a video to see that speed that the author speaks, but surely it is very slow, and it is better to leave us the image that he would have succeeded. We will be attentive in case other types of similar projects upload, since we like this different news. Leave us a comment with your impression and assessment about the project.
