Linux boots on the iPhone 11, and we believe we’re the first in the world to do it.

Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

Linux has been booted on some older ones before as far as I know, this is the first time it’s been done on the 11. There’s eve partial Nura (PostMarketOS) support for iPhones from 5s to X.
