Running an OS other than iOS on iPhones made by US-based tech giant Apple is an initiative that hackers are interested in. Now we will tell you how an iPhone 7 works with Linux. The smartphone industry has been under the hegemony of iOS and Android operating systems for a long time. However, some software companies and independent developers are working on alternative operating systems instead of iOS and Android. The primary among these is alternative operating systems based on Linux. Now a developer has managed to run a Linux-based operating system “postmarketOS” on an iPhone 7. In order to run a Linux-based operating system on the iPhone 7, the developer preferred the “checkra1n” tool, which is frequently used in jailbreaking of iPhones. The developer, who made the necessary arrangements with some coding techniques and then transferred these regulations to his iPhone, started using Linux-based postmarketOS when he restarted his phone. Working with postmarketOS, the iPhone 7 looks like this As you can see in the photo above, iPhone 7 running on a Linux based operating system does not have a graphical interface. So if you do this successfully and run an iPhone 7 via postmarketOS, you will only be able to use this phone via codes. However, we can say that this situation is not very important for now. The developer, who managed to run a Linux-based operating system on iPhone 7, states that this work is still a project, the ultimate goal is to create a stable Linux-based operating system on an iPhone. So according to the developer, the absence of the graphical interface of the iPhone 7 is not important at the moment.
