Whoa, okay—so this one’s a wild ride, right? Picture this: someone, a real tech whiz, decided it’d be fun to make Apple’s iOS run on a Nintendo Switch. Yeah, you heard that right. But don’t start planning to swap your iPhone for a Switch just yet. This genius—or maybe mad scientist—PatRyk—it’s kinda hard to tell his alias apart—joked it’s basically the “world’s slowest ‘iPhone’.”
Now, here’s the kicker: it takes about 20 minutes to even boot up. Like, really, go make a cup of coffee, read a chapter of a book, and oh—still waiting? And even then, the apps? Forget it, they crash faster than you can say Apple Pie. PatRyk spent a couple of days—like, straight-up marathon-style—trying to jam Apple’s OS onto this gaming gadget. The patience of this guy must be insane.
Anyway—where was I? Oh yeah, so in this flaky setup, everything seems to make the system freak out. Each click or swipe is like an adventure in, “will it or won’t it crash?” Somehow, while I find this hilarious, it’s also oddly comforting knowing someone out there has time to try bizarre things like this. Maybe it’s a lesson in persistence…or insanity?
Apparently, some QEMU thingamajig was the hero here. PatRyk, no clue how, managed to make iOS stretch its legs on Switch’s Nvidia Tegra X1. It’s kinda like teaching a dog to meow. Or was that bark? See, now I’m just confusing myself.
Honestly, who knows what’s next? If PatRyk continues, and maybe they will, you’ll wanna keep an eye on this crazy journey. Will it lead anywhere useful? Probably not. But like, isn’t that half the fun? Will they call it quits? Hard to say. But they’re promising more weird code stuff soon. Can’t wait to see what they break next.
