Gregory's ServerFigured you'd all enjoy this fun lil bit of trivia. In 2007, when Steve Jobs introduced the iPod touch, there was a dramatic reveal in the keynote half way through that it had wi-fi and Safari. He went back to the demo and made a previously-hidden Safari icon pop onto the home screen (https://youtu.be/t_cNLpUXPdQ?t=2464). I thought this was just for the keynote, but it's a real mode you can force enable. I managed to do it on this emulated iPod touch:

@samhenrigold i was trying to get the emulator running but I keep getting these errors, any idea on how to fix it? @alixrezax yes, you gotta install OpenSSL through homebrew. Then I ran this (slightly modified) config command: ../configure --enable-sdl --disable-cocoa --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-capstone --disable-pie --disable-slirp --extra-cflags=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include --extra-ldflags='-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib -lcrypto' @samhenrigold awesome, the modified config command was the key, although now i’m getting a different set of errors |
Surprisingly easy to enable it, too. Just setting a key (SBEnableAppReveal) to true in Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist
I followed this fantastic work to get the emulator working https://devos50.github.io/blog/2022/ipod-touch-qemu-pt2/
