I am not a expert on IOS devices so don't quote me on this, but in terms of HW the lighting port does support XHCI. In terms of software though, I don't believe IOS offers the necessary control, perhaps a jailbroken device, but I doubt stock IOS would allow it.

do ya think this'll work?

im not an expert either, and i cant really fully explore that library right now

 

Nope, Cydia Impactor.

 

Not to rub salt in the wound, and iPhones and iPads are great devices, but as locked down as their operating systems are, they're the kinds of things I would only recommend to my parents or not-so-technologically-savvy friends. Nobody with a desire for any customization or control whatsoever uses an iPhone.

Edit: I understand not everyone has a choice regarding his or her cell phone, particularly younger members, but you shouldn't expect to do a lot of this kind of thing with an iPhone, at least not in a timely fashion.

 

ok for 1: you can develop any app you want, make an ipa, sign it, and load it with cydia impactor, no matter what app it is, its not like you're personally asking apple to allow it. I do it all the time. they cant revoke/block/not allow any app as long as you don't distribute it publicly, in the form of OTA downloads. (distributing an ipa is not an OTA download)

2: i mean sure, ios devices are for non tech savvy people, but i mean, even if you could, wouldn't put it on the app store. tech savvy people who have an iphone can try it out if they see it on gbatemp (or wherever it would be distributed)

i mostly would do it just to say that you can, or for people who would normally use nxloader but don't have an android.

 

True, the libusb API has no support for IOS either, so I doubt there would ever be a working method.

 

i have an iphone as well but honestly i wouldnt bother, with the cables and converters and so on.
there will be a usb c loader that you just plug in.
people are working on it.

just hang in there the scene is just getting started

 

i guess the first step was a loader for pc, then we went for phones, and from there to a usb c dongol.
things will move on to better solutions.

even now we wont need a jig to boot FG with the auto rcm.

things are really looking great.

 

The soft brick is super easy to use, and using a dongle or modchip soldered to the D+/D- testpads on the PCB would basically give you coldboot.

 

It is a good thing, and even if it was not it is incredibly easy to reverse.
