   Chinese Programmer Sticks Windows 95 On An iPhone 6 Plus   
      
      
   Today in “putting stuff onto things on which they don’t   
   belong,” we present a user, xyq058775, and his exciting   
   admission that he installed Windows 95 on a brand new   
   iPhone. He used a tool called iDos, an open source   
   DOSBox-like app to install the OS. He found that most of it   
   worked fine but he was unable to upgrade to Windows XP. And   
   we can assume he was also able to play Doom.   
      
   There’s is very little new about this whole process – people   
   have been putting emulators on things since the original VAX   
   machines – but it’s cool to see resurrected software run so   
   readily on new hardware. While I can’t imagine a real world   
   use case for this (maybe you really need to run a copy of   
   Mavis Beacon?) it’s a great theoretical exercise. Who knows,   
   maybe someone can run POSDT next
