Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

Not that I would want Android on iPhones, it just looked that would be eaiser to achieve than pure Linux because some components of iPhones already have driver blobs for Android. Of course Android has its own quirks too, so maybe not so different.
