In a move that will send a shiver down the spines of Apple and Google fanatics alike, some monster who wants to see the world burn has hacked an iPhone to run Android software.
Video of the sacrilegious hack has been posted on Twitter.

It’s the result of something called Project Sandcastle, carried out by mobile device virtualisation company Corellium.
Corellium calls itself the “first and only platform to offer mobile virtualisation on ARM”.
ARM is the computing architecture that powers most mobile devices and is the same one that both Apple’s processors and many other smartphone chips are built on.
Corellium co-founder David Wang first pulled off the hack about a decade ago, installing Android on the first generation iPhone.
Since then the security researcher and his team have been working on repeating the feat on newer iPhones.
Apple is unsurprisingly not a fan of this.
