The persional hobby project of building a linux iPhone

Please read this first!

This project uses the internals of the Pinephone and the housing of the iphone 13 Max and the inerface of GnomeDesktop with extensions, so it looks right on mobile. Installed using PMbootstrap. In no way do I claim ownership or affiliation of or over their product(s). Layout thanks to gobliin-heart.

This page is here to document my progress to making such a device.
