Is it possible to install iOS iPhone on Android phone?
By Franklin - iPhones and Android phones do not have the same architecture.Yes, iPhones use ARM-derived processors. However, they do not use ARM processors; the processors are custom-designed by Apple with significant modifications from “stock” ARM designs, including customized instruction sets. Software written for an Apple A-series processor will not run on a stock ARM processor.
More importantly, the Apple processor includes the Secure Enclave, a special, encrypted portion of the processor with its own encrypted memory, in which is a set of Apple keys that are used to validate the firmware and decrypt it.
I’ve noticed several links in answers to this question that claim to lead to places that you can download iOS for Android. Most of these are emulators, and will run very old iOS versions in emulation, agonizingly slowly and with lots of bugs. At least one answer, which I have reported, actually led to a malware site that advertised an iOS on Android program but was actually malware.
But the answer to your question is no. You can not run iOS natively on Android, because Android phones do not use the same processors as iPhoes.
By Páll Haraldsson -No, but yes at least in theory if it could be a more or less modified version (and someone willing to make the modifications, that would however be judged as copyright infringement).
[It should also be possible to port Android to iPhone or say Windows phone.]
Another answer says “some Android devices may have same exact hardware configuration as iPhone”.
That’s just not true, no Android phone has exactly the same hardware, not the Apple-specific ARM CPU (differences there probably not important) nor all the other hardware that each needs a driver (drivers working for different GPU could be hacked, performance would differ, and the new neural engine is missing from most Android phones (and Kinect 3D camera), so it couldn’t be used, or at best emulated and then e.g. FaceID in newest iPhone X could maybe made to work but slower).
Drivers come with the OS, here iOS. Also with macOS and people have done a Hackintosh where drivers for new hardware is
Without the right drivers, each associated hardware functionality would at best not work (say your screen) and at worst neither would the rest of your hardware.
What could be done is similar to Replicant-variant of Android, skip all drivers that do not work on other hardware and accept reduced functionality (they do it for other reasons, drivers work, they just don’t like proprietary software, as they can’t modify it, the same problem exists with modifying the iOS drivers..):
