Discussion Found a site that emulates the original iPhone OS 1.0 in your browser

https://2007.mobile/

I'm really curious how this was done. I've been looking for a project like this for a long time. Does anyone know if it's built on actual ios 1assets or recreated from scratch?

Too bad there’s no internet on this. So no jailbreakme.com

Oh man, that unlocked some memories. Wild how terrible security was back in those days that it was even possible via a browser.

Wdym back in those days?

PDF executables are still a thing. The recent PS5 jailbreaks is also executed via the browser engine.

Haha that would be funny if you could jailbreak the emulated phone

This is a mockup not even an emulation

I remember camping out overnight at the Apple Store for the launch. It was at an outdoor mall and me and 3 friends all brought chairs and setup a GameCube and a TV and convinced the security guy to let us run an extension cord to an outlet in a maintenance closet next to the store. We ran a Smash Bros and Mario Kart tournament with the other people there. We ordered a bunch of pizzas and stayed up all night having a good time! The next day, Chic-fil-a showed up with free biscuits, orange juice and coffee. The Apple Store employees were SUPER excited and playing music and getting everyone hyped up.

It was a ton of fun and made some great memories.

Sounds like a good time, how much did you pay for the iPhone ?

Is there any hint that this is being emulated? It is pretty slow, so that might be something.

I had to restart my iPhone even after force closing the tab and Safari. It didn't load past 99%, and it was causing major lag, so I'd assume it's emulated - it's possible to emulate iOS, and we have triple A games running in browsers now.

Wekbit mockup not emulated

u/Rough_Secretary2296 2h ago

Not emulated. It's a webkit mockup.

Wait this is so cool. Honestly I really want one for iOS 6 and iOS 9, my two favorite versions

It'd be cool if the "Usage" feature tracked the overall total time spent on the site by all users.

Saw a reddit post about this before it's just being simulated everything is preprogrammed, it's not emulated. I saw the post from the creator before.

All similar to this post:https://www.reddit.com/r/Skeuomorphism/comments/1wdu34r/built_an_ios_6_simulator/

It’s very high fidelity, in that case. I would expect them to fake the weather app instead of letting the now dead API call fail, if it were all simulated.

u/Rough_Secretary2296 3h ago edited 2h ago

Can't they fake the API failures to make it look more realistic and avoid more complex things? Stop larping smartness. Ios was never open source it would be impossible to put online. There are multiple signs too like the boot screen.

It doesn’t need to be open source. You can download a copy of the OS freely. You just need to trick it into running somewhere it isn’t supposed to.

u/Rough_Secretary2296 1h ago

And that somewhere is a dedicated program and not a WebKit recreation

I miss iOS before iOS7. If I could go back, I would. I miss the professionalism and finer details of the previous software design.

Seems like original iPhone OS assets to me

Oh my days this is just a mockup they faked this message and everything.

In case if you're stupid and can't tell this is just a mock up 😂 (everybody here)

How "smart" should you be to tell this is fake? (Photo here for people who need absolute proof, there is no SN and model and imei and everything.)

Also from the get go it looked like one of the fake projects like https://www.reddit.com/r/Skeuomorphism/comments/1wdu34r/built_an_ios_6_simulator/
