IPad Air 2 Hacked to Run Mac OS

iPad-Air-2-Mac-os

Last September, Apple introduced three new devices: the iPhone 6s / Plus, the fourth generation Apple TV and the iPad Pro. This new iPad came with some important new features, such as the four speakers, the AX9 processor or the 4GB of RAM, but many users were disappointed in the news that their operating system would be iOS and not a version of Mac OS, which limits productivity quite a bit at a price that we can consider as high.

After seeing what operating system Apple bet on for its iPad Pro, it is difficult to think that this is going to change in the short term. And if users who were hoping for the apple professional tablet to arrive with a desktop operating system received the news with frustration, the following video will surely make their imaginations soar. The motive is some kind of hack that has allowed Mac OS to run on a iPad Air 2, a much less powerful device than the iPad Pro.

As you can see in the previous video, the iPad Air 2 runs two versions of Mac OS, 7.5.5 and 6.0.1. It achieves it through SOLD and for this, execute the command vMac. The iOS version used by the demo iPad is iOS 9.0.2, the latest version vulnerable to a jailbreak. No further information is provided on this video.

The good thing about the video is seeing that it is possible to run a version of Mac OS on an iPad. The downside is how terribly slow everything is. Either way, this kind of reminds me of how long everything took on old computers, where loading a game could make us go for a nap.

I don't think anyone is interested in running such an old version of Mac OS on their iPad beyond remembering what it was like. Of course, if they managed to emulate a more updated version, we would all install it.
