Here’s what iPhone OS 1.0 looks like on the computer:
developer also known as devos50 Martjin de Vosdid a lot of reverse engineering to be able to run the first version of iPhone OS on PC. Also, his preferred version is the one used on iPods. iPhoneOS 1.0 it happened:
Mentioning the reasons for this decision in his blog, the developer said that this version have fewer security measures and it is preferred because it is less complex. He also stated that the most challenging part for him is emulating the hardware parts on the iPod touch.
Another reason for choosing 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 more than a year of work is required to develop the emulator.
Although a few minor errors are noticeable 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 stated to use OpeniBoot, an open source Apple bootloader.
