Emulating an iPhone in QEMU (Part 2)

What's the plan? At the end of our previous blog post, we got PreBoard to show its UI. But we had no idea if getting SpringBoard to work would even be possible, since we didn’t have SEP emulation. Still, we wanted to see how far we could get without it. Before SpringBoard could show anything, we had plenty of issues to fix. Although the backboardd and SpringBoard processes were starting and stable, they were stuck in different places. Our strategy was to go through system logs, find suspiciou

Coming to Apple OSes: A seamless, secure way to import and export passkeys

Apple this week provided a glimpse into a feature that solves one of the biggest drawbacks of passkeys, the industry-wide standard for website and app authentication that isn't susceptible to credential phishing and other attacks targeting passwords. The import/export feature, which Apple demonstrated at this week’s WWDC 25, will be available in the next major releases of iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. It aims to solve one of the biggest shortcomings of passkeys as they have existed to date.

Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure

Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure You're happily working away, fingers flying, deep in flow, and suddenly, boink, your session has expired. You sigh, re-enter your password (again), complete an MFA challenge (again), maybe approve an email notification (again), and finally — access restored. Until next time. This wasn't so bad when it was just passwords; we all got pretty fast at retyping our passwords. But all those MFA challenges really slow us down. And MFA fatigue attacks, a gro

Shoring up global supply chains with generative AI

It is not the only catastrophic event to strike supply chains in the last five years either. For example, in 2021 a six-day blockage of the Suez Canal—a narrow waterway through which 30% of global container traffic passes—added further upheaval, impacting an estimated $9.6 billion in goods each day that it remained impassable. These shocks have been a sobering wake-up call. Now, 86% of CEOs cite resilience as a priority issue in their own supply chains. Amid ongoing efforts to better prepare fo

Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device

With the launch of Android 16 earlier this week, Google did not release the Pixel hardware repos and device trees that are particularly important for custom ROM developers. This led to speculation by some that “AOSP is being discontinued.” Google has denied that, but the Pixel change does look to be intentional. On Tuesday, Google released Android 16’s source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). However, the Pixel device trees and other code used to adapt the AOSP release to specific

Craig Federighi explains why it took so long to make the iPad more Mac-like

iPadOS 26 arguably brings the biggest update to the iPad ever seen, turning it into something much more Mac-like in both UI and capabilities. But since iPads have been using the same chips as Macs since 2021, why did it take so long? That’s the question Apple’s software head Craig Federighi sets out to answer in a new interview … iPadOS 26 is so ground-breaking that I argued Apple has finally turned the device into something worthy of the term ‘computer.’ The biggest change by far is proper w
