2026-08-29 / projects-researchervphone-cli boots a real jailbroken iOS 26 VM on Apple Silicon and is at 9,001 stars with a release cut todayLakr233/vphone-cli hit HN at 295 points on 2026-08-28 and tagged 1.0.12 at 2026-08-29T00:45; it sits at 9,001 stars and 1,258 forks (a 14% fork ratio) in Swift under MIT. It repurposes Apple's Virtualization.framework PV=3 paravirtualization mode, introduced in macOS 15, to expose SEP, synthetic battery, USB touch and PL011 serial so a stock iOS kernel boots unmodified, with Sileo, TrollStore, SSH and VNC inside. Two independent tool ecosystems have already grown around it (zqxwce/vphone-ws is a native macOS GUI manager, plus multiple forks), which is the real signal that this works rather than demos.
