That’s so cool. It makes it even more of a bummer that iDevice bootloaders are locked. It’s an ongoing tragedy there’s still no macOS on iPads. Looks like if you want that, you’ll have to go with non-Apple hardware.

To prevent e-waste, Apple should be legally obliged to unlock the bootloader of devices once they declare them obsolete.

		Yes so many iPads that are dead bricks, while they could be running some pure Linux distro for many purposes

		I think this should extend to all device manufacturers. I have a few android devices that can be renewed with Lineage OS

		To prevent anti-competitive behavior (illegal tying/bundling), Apple should be legally obligated to unlock the bootloader of devices once they are offered for sale.

Amusingly someone found out how to run macOS on iPad, by jailbreaking older devices (iPad Pro (M1, M2) or iPad Air (M1)), with an older iPadOS which has a virtualization framework: https://github.com/nfzerox/VirtualMacOniPad

Everybody thinks macOS on ipad would be great, but it's not. If you are in the ecosystem, you can use your ipad as a remote display for your mac. Boom, macos on ipad.

And. It. Sucks.

It's a terrible, shitty experience.

		But now that the new macos is forced to have touch-friendly UI, it actually could be nice.
