Apple iPhone 7/7+ (apple-d10)

From postmarketOS Wiki

A mainline fork for this device is available [1] 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 is available.

Note This device is supported as part of a generic port. Refer to Apple_Generic_iDevice_(apple-idevice) for installation instructions and more information.
