Custom Built Case Allows an iPhone to Run Android
 

Developer and Tendigi CTO Nick Lee, who previously got an Apple Watch to run ******* 95, today showed off a new project he's been working on, which allows Android to run on an iPhone using a specialized iPhone case.

As seen in the video below, Lee created a 3D printed iPhone case and outfitted it with a built-in Lemaker HiKey board, a battery pack, and other hardware so it could support a version of Android. The case plugs into an iPhone's Lightning port, turning the iPhone into a display and emulating touch events on Android.


Lee outlines the creation process in a detailed post on Medium, explaining that he figured out how to clone the Android Open Source Project to make a customized version of Android Marshmallow, which is what is displayed on the iPhone.

Over several design iterations and experiments with 3D printing, Lee was able to shrink the case containing the parts down to a reasonable size and perfect the connection between the case and the iPhone. The result is an relatively thick iPhone case that lets the iPhone run a full version of Android.

Like ******* 95 running on the Apple Watch, Lee's Android case is conceptual and **t practical for real world use, but it's an interesting take on getting Android to run on an iPhone.
