This hasn’t been approved by Apple.
but it says "No jailbreak required!"... I thought that meant only appstore apps where allowed on your device...

I said it was a 'usermode Linux "terminal" emulator', never said it was a VM or anything like that. IIRC the dev said he also wasn't allowed to publish it to the App Store and I assume it falls under the same catagory of "not allowed" in Apple's eyes as UTM would've had.

> "Since iOS 13.3.1, it appears Apple has stopped allowing free developer profiles to sign dylibs." A terrible decision. Users should always be allowed, at the very least, to build and sideload their own code .
Many people still seem to believe that when they buy a phone (be it Apple or Android) they actually "own" the device. You don't really: . can't open it to access h/w, change battery, etc... . can't choose what you run on it . can't actually access all of the data that's stored on it . most of the things you do with it are recorded by a remote entity. . "for your own protection", here's a very long list of things we w…

We're necessarily moving closer and closer to monolithic ASICs that cover all functions of a phone, most likely encased in epoxy for complete waterproofing. Some guy with a screwdriver and multimeter will never be able to keep up with advancements in manufacturing/technology.

I can't fully agree with your first point: > can't open it to access h/w, change battery, etc...

Actually, someone compiled it, added ads, and put it on the App Store. Not sure if it is still there, but it got through approval.

> Security This is arguable. The amount of CVEs is pretty high for a closed-source platform. Several of those CVEs were exploited in the wild for years before being fixed.
Unfortunately this is true for the other commonly-used mobile OS as well.
Even without that, static binaries could run till some recent version. I have poked with dynamic loading and LD_PRELOAD to set up my own environment which could run most Debian packages using libfakechroot && libfakeroot.
People like to shit on Android. But in terms of power user freedom, apple doesn't even come near.

Why would you think that? Apple's processors are very powerful.
Emulation is slow.
Does to hard drive limitations in space might not be able to run Windows 10 on an iPad or Macbook Pro.

Emulation is slow because it is emulating a CISC processor with a RISC processor. You are better off running QEMU on your Mac than on your iPad. Does to hard drive limitations in space might not be able to run Windows 10 on an iPad or Macbook Pro.
It’s slow because it’s emulating, period. CISC/RISC has little to do with it.
