Successfully runs Windows 11 on iPhone 15 Pro, combining Windows emulator and lightweight version of Windows



NTDEV, a developer who conducts various Windows-related experiments, has reported that he has successfully run Windows 11 on an iPhone 15 Pro by combining UTM SE, a Windows emulator for iPhones, with Tiny11, a lightweight version of Windows 11.

NTDEV released a lightweight version of Windows 11 called 'Tiny11' in 2023. The minimum system requirements for Windows 11 are '4GB of memory and 64GB or more of storage capacity', but Tiny11 significantly reduces this, requiring only 2GB of memory and about 8GB of storage.

Then, in July 2024, following the release of the Windows emulator 'UTM SE' on the App Store, NTDEV tried running Tiny11 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

Here's a screenshot posted by NTDEV on X (formerly Twitter): Although the resolution is quite low and the display width doesn't match the screen, it certainly looks like the iPhone 15 Pro is running Windows 11.



The Windows login screen has also been posted.



It seems that the Task Manager can also be checked on Windows 11 running on the iPhone 15 Pro. The emulator UTM SE is equipped with a virtual 1GHz, 1-core QEMU CPU and 2GB of RAM.



According to NTDEV, it took about 20 minutes just to boot up Windows 11 on the iPhone 15 Pro, so performance appears to be quite poor.



NTDEV plans to post a video in the future showing Windows 11 running on the iPhone 15 Pro.
