The ability to operate two distinct operating systems on a single computing device presents a flexible environment for users with diverse software requirements. This configuration allows the selection of either the Windows 11 environment or a specific version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 12.7.5, upon system startup. This differs from virtualization, where one operating system runs within another.
This setup offers several advantages. Users can access applications and functionalities exclusive to each operating system without needing separate devices. Older iOS versions may be required to support legacy applications or specific hardware that is incompatible with newer iterations. Furthermore, it permits a segregated environment for tasks requiring heightened security or privacy. Historically, achieving this configuration required advanced technical expertise and often involved third-party software solutions. However, native support remains absent, requiring creative workaround and hardware limitations.
