The story so far

AI overview

Google AI Studio Product and Design Lead Lei Xi used the Gemini 4 Carbon model to develop Windows/iOS projects, enabling the iPhone Duo to run Windows 11 on Arm 24H2 system images with touch support. The project is open-source, requiring specific tools and image deployment, and can attempt to run some traditional Windows applications, though compatibility is not guaranteed. The project allows Windows to call the phone's network, speakers, and microphones via virtual network cards, audio devices, etc., and Lei Xi's device does not need to be jailbroken. The solution uses software techniques like just-in-time compilation and does not require replacing the original iOS system. The project also claims to support Microsoft Prism translation layer, but does not guarantee compatibility with all software and games.
