I wish the https://github.com/devos50/qemu-ios project would evolve to support iPhone OS 3.x to experience many early iPhone apps for digital preservation's sake!

https://github.com/touchHLE/touchHLE is also great but needs patches for all but the most basic of apps.

Would be truly amazing to use those old awesome apps and play some of the early games that have no equivalent today.

QEMU-emulated iPhone 11 could support iOS 13.x to iOS 18.x, https://github.com/ChefKissInc/QEMUAppleSilicon

We would need QEMU support for iPhone 7, to run 32-bit apps in iOS 10.
