Just yesterday, we learned that there's a way to run the checkra1n jailbreak on Android for the purpose of unlocking iOS devices. With that thought in mind, why not go all the way and install Android on iPhone? It's not something we recommend, but currently, if you own an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, you can run a limited version of the mobile operating system developed by Google, with the condition that you do a few things first.
Install Android on iPhone: Sounds crazy, but it's totally doable.
The team behind Project Sandcastle is no longer a group of unfamiliar names. About a decade ago, the project's co-founders built the original gateway for Android on the iPhone. The iDroid projects garnered significant attention from the media at that time when the world of smartphones and mobile devices was vastly different from today.
Step-by-step guide to install Android on iPhone.
Video tutorial: Installing Android on iOS
If you happen to own an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, the method to install Android on iPhone is surprisingly manageable. It utilizes the checkra1n exploit to gain access to the bootloader of older iPhone models, allowing you to install a 'semi-working' version of Android on your iOS device.
The term 'Semi-working' here implies that there are still some issues with Bluetooth and the camera, but these buttoned-down concerns are expected to be addressed as the project continues to develop. The potential for broader device compatibility is expanding, but currently, only the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are suitable for Google's operating system.
Notably, the Android operating system for iPhone is still in the experimental phase. This, combined with 'unreliable' support for certain features, might leave most readers skeptical about this approach. However, as mentioned earlier, if you're curious, own an iPhone, and want to try installing Android on it, you can explore further or download Android and Linux builds at projectsandcastle.org.
