[@Wurzelfurz](https://feddit.org/u/Wurzelfurz) [@cm0002](https://mander.xyz/u/cm0002) Main problem of the iphones is not the lack of drivers, but their unrootability. Beside that, its hw/fw explicitly tries to prevent your access over your own phone. There are also intentional traps, to brick the phone if you are playing with it.

I would imagine that the hardware on iPhones (touchscreen input, multiple cameras, FaceID) would make it much more challenging and probably not within the scope of the project (!). iPhones are also more locked down then Macs are, I believe there is no way to install an alternate operating system on modern iPhones. Project Sandcastle, a project to implement Android on iPhones, only got around to the 7 (and even then, it had poor support).
