About the project
Research project that boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel (iOS 16.5) and the unmodified iOS user space on a POCO X5 Pro 5G Android phone or in QEMU on Linux, using a custom EFI loader, UEFI port and replacements for Apple's closed drivers.
Useful for
- Run iOS 16.5 in QEMU on Linux without a phone or kernel build
- Boot the system on a POCO X5 Pro 5G via fastboot boot without flashing storage
- Study how XNU, launchd and SpringBoard behave on non-Apple hardware

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-28 (UTC), 00:02–21:10: 1815 → 1896 stars (+81). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +91 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 1,896 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #7.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices” — 536 points, 6 days ago.
- About 13 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
