Not actually usable, but I found this entertaining to see.

Also TLDR
Currently, these builds are only supported for iPhone 7 / 7+ and the iPod touch 7.
and to note hasn’t seen any progress or work in 3 years

This might actually be a way to save Apple devices that no longer get OS updates, since those essentially become immediately useless, owing to iOS devs policy of only supporting the two most recent OS updates in their apps. It’s not uncommon for Android apps to support positively ancient versions of the OS, all the way back to Android 5.0.
Call me when your Android runs ios
I’d rather not use iOS at all. Android is infinitely more customizable, powerful, and privacy friendly (with the right OS).
On the topic of your braindead take in this. Make iOS open source first. It’s almost like opensource breeds interoperability and closed source breed cultists who think they’re better by default.
Ngl open source also breeds cultists who think they’re better by default, but at least those cultists made the right choice
At least they have an argument to think that
Well, I wouldn’t call it a “brain dead take”. I usually keep an Android and an iOS handset and I view each with a set of drawbacks and payoffs. The former (usually) allows you to unlock the boot loader without drawbacks and the latter does not. The latter is exclusive to a set of hardware. So if you want to have iOS you’re consigned to using the hardware deemed acceptable by Apple — but if someone were to accomplish “the brain dead take” a whole host of hardware would be available to you. There’s utility to that for some people.
Ok. Let’s be real now. Android without Google Play Services is not something that is even remotely useful for 99.99999999% of the Android users that is out there. Furthermore, if one or two of those users are your friends, then Google most likely keeps track of you quite ok anyways.
Nevertheless, good for you managing to avoid all big social media, relevant messaging apps, dating apps, commercial services apps and apps using Google Play Services.
Lol I’m surprised anyone thought I was serious. Do iPhone people even use lemmy?
why would anyone do that though
Some people just hate themselves 🙃

I am saying, why would anyone ever install IOS on their android phones
I learnt last week how some people judge others by the colour of their text bubbles
Lol that’s you 🤣 Imagine being that shallow
Lmao
It would actually be cool either way.
I don’t personally like iOS. I kinda hate it when I have to use it, even.
But it would be cool as shit for users to be able to choose their OS even more than they currently can. Hell, even a gimped partial version with a long-ass series of disclaimers and limitations would be a welcome thing for users. I despise windows, and I still wish people could freely load it on their devices if they wanted to.
Yeah, I know, there’s huge technical hurdles making it hard to pull off, even if iOS and windows were fully open source, but can you imagine being able to pick between all the major OSes as your needs require, on almost any hardware? That would be cool as fuck.
This guy gets it. No need to gatekeep either way you let it hang.
Feelin’ a lil insecure there, buddy? It’s okay, Android isn’t for everyone.
Lol running android on an iPhone is cool, but how much sacrifice to the apple gods does it take to get there? 😹 If I wanted to be half apple I would much prefer the half that I can download fo free.
who hurt you
Don’t run my precious Linux on apple trash! 😭
Android is an OS. Do you want iOS in a virtual machine within Android? Intriguing idea. Use Android for most things, and iOS for the few things out does better.
This makes no sense. Android is an OS. You mean emulate iOS inside Android? I think it’s already doable
