They run Windows XP on an iPhone 7

All users who buy a mobile device manufactured by Apple, be it an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, want to enjoy the corresponding iOS version and all the advantages it offers us compared to Android. Some developers like to test and make the most of their devices by testing different versions of operating systems not only Android but also different versions of Windows and macOS, as we have taught you previously. The main motivation of these users is found in checking if the hardware of the devices is powerful enough to move older operating systems, as is the case we are talking about in this article.

A user has managed to emulate a version of Windows XP on his iPhone, and as we can see in the video above, the operation leaves a lot to be desired, not only because of the time it loads but also because of the slowness it offers when interacting. The appearance is the same that we can find on any computer where we have just installed the veteran Windows XP operating system, an operating system that stopped receiving support a little over a year ago, although it is still found in many public organizations and large companies.

In order to run Windows XP, this user has used an iPhone 7 in its 4,7-inch version, and through Xcode he has installed the Bochs emulator with a copy of Windows XP. All this with the version of iOS 10.2.1. To navigate with the mouse, we just have to slide your finger on the screen so that the arrow moves where we want. If you are curious and want to try to emulate Windows XP on your device, on this user's GitHub page You can find all the information related to this project.
