I saw that the new iPhone 15 pro has 8GB of ram. Also I heard an app called UTM can run Mac OS on iOS. Does this really can work? If so, does usb c accessories like mouse, keyboard, usb hub for screen are supported? I always wanted to use an iPhone as portable Mac and I wonder if know it’s possible. Thanks

    UTM can only emulate different operating systems, which isn’t the same as natively running them. It also doesn’t have access to various optimisations needed to run modern OSes at a useable speed, older OSes like Windows XP and OS X Leopard are about its limit. I’ve tried booting macOS Mojave on UTM via an A17 Pro device before and it didn’t work.

    If Apple had the desire to do this, these phones are more than capable of running MacOS. We’ll see what the future brings!
