Because Apple pulled the hypervisor from the iPadOS kernel in iPadOS 16.4, only the M1 iPad Pro, M1 iPad Air and M2 iPad Pro on iPadOS 16.3.1 or earlier qualify, which meant $2,074 in new-old-stock iPads, a 16GB RAM 2TB 13-inch M2 iPad Pro, and firmware checks through black-market GSX (Apple Global Service Exchange) serial number reports sold by Telegram and WhatsApp bots. The 2026 iPad jailbreak is a relay race of Impactor sideloading, TrollInstallerX, TrollStore's CoreTrust exploit (reverse-engineered from Predator mercenary spyware) and the rootless Dopamine jailbreak with Sileo and ElleKit, while Pointer Authentication, kernel integrity protection and Apple's $2 million bug bounties explain why iOS jailbreaks are nearly extinct. Magic Keyboard, trackpad and Apple Pencil pressure support work, Final Cut Pro edits video and Steam runs Dave the Diver and Big Walk (Paralives and Tomb Raider, less so), while benchmarks show a 20% single-core and nearly 50% multi-core performance hit—still faster than a $6,000 2019 Mac Pro, but with no iCloud, App Store, Bluetooth, AirDrop or Netflix DRM. With touchscreen MacBooks on the horizon, is macOS on iPad the answer, or should Apple and John Ternus let Mac apps run as iPad apps instead? 0:00 An iPad that runs real macOS? 2:31 Black-market access to Apple's repair database 4:30 One option on the entire internet 5:43 Granola, the AI meeting assistant 7:14 The moment of truth 9:56 Jailbreaking is a relay race now 14:53 Installing macOS over a fake USB cable 16:47 A Mac on a mother friggin' iPad 18:04 Where it stops being a Mac 20:15 Cool trick, wrong answer #iPad #macOS #Apple Thanks to @meetgranola for the #ad on this video.
