Since a recent firmware release included components for a virtualized iPhone, I decided to see if I could boot one up. It worked!

This is a virtualized iPhone 16 running iOS 26.2.

Don't get too excited though, as this required a substantial amount of IPSW patching and it crashes SpringBoard when I swipe up in the setup screen 😅

Screen recording showing a Mac window displaying an iPhone’s display. The iPhone is in the setup screen with an overlay that reads “Security Research Device. Property of Apple Inc.”. Behind this window there’s a terminal window with a long list of log lines from the iOS kernel.

Someone who works on YouTube needs to realize that bilingual people exist. For a while now the app insists in translating video titles from Portuguese to English (I use my devices in English). If I change the language to Portuguese, it then translates video titles from English to Portuguese. I just want to see the original content as it was posted by the creator. And now it's even auto-enabling AI dubbing 🤦🏻‍♂️ Give me a checkbox to turn this off, please!

Pro tip: if you want to see what your app looks like with the new design on iOS 26 but for some reason can't build it with the new SDK, add the following to your app's launch arguments (or set it in user defaults):

"-com.apple.SwiftUI.IgnoreSolariumLinkedOnCheck YES"
