A team of developers reports booting Linux on the iPhone 11, a feat they believe is a world first. The achievement involves getting a full Linux kernel to run on Apple hardware that has historically been locked to iOS, opening the door to new research into the phone's chipset and drivers. Tech communities following the project are celebrating the milestone and watching for technical details and next steps.
Why now: Running Linux on Apple's tightly locked iPhone hardware is a rare technical breakthrough that excites open-source and security communities.
