Apple iPhone 7/7+ (apple-d10)
Appearance
(Redirected from Apple iPhone 7/7+ (apple-iphone7))
A mainline fork for this device is available here with further instructions here. Still needs to be tested and ported to postmarketOS.
These two devices can boot Android (via Project Sandcastle) so a postmarketOS port could be possible once flash storage drivers are added.

How to enter flash mode
No proper flash mode, but kernel can be booted via checkra1n/PongoOS.
First you have to enter DFU mode.
- Power off your phone and connect it to your computer via USB
- Hold down + for 8 seconds
- Release and keep holding for another 10 seconds
The screen should stay blank if everything went good.
To enter PongoOS, from where we can load the Linux kernel, run following command on the host machine:
$ ./checkra1n -cpE
PongoOS will start booting and printing messages on the screen.
Installation
There is a manual method described in this blog post.
After this pull request is merged, one could possibly boot the kernel by just running
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot
