The Developer Transition Kit 

@user-qe5ds5vg8g that makes somehow sense... CPUs are usually done a year or maybe two earlier before release and a A5 chip in a MacBook Air would make a little sense, since the performance was a disaster anyway.

You can find pics of em on Google. They were G5 towers with Pentium 4s and ran Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. The Hackintosh scene got started when an image of Mac OS X from one of these machines leaked.

That's called "A PC."

I believe that was a Mac Pro tower

@@calorion while yes, it technically was a pc. it came in a powermac g5 case that had been modified to take a standard pc motherboard

@@windowsxpnt2347 But would a regular old PC have worked?

It seems to me that you can ask for the sticker in the Apple store.

Same goes with the batteries, the SOC was designed to always be connected to a large battery in an iPad to do things like background work, and I 100% bet that the iOS SOC is designed to use battery always for background tasks as they are more important incase the device is unplugged when doing tasks.

Dudes its a Developer Transition Kit which is made to compile and Test Apps on ARM architecture. It does exactly what it is supposed todo nothing more and nothing less.

The ipad a12z has thunderbolt.

It's definitely one of those phrases that has lost its literal meaning. I've heard 'for all intensive purposes' as well

That is still considered apple hardware, hardware is the looks and insides

@@flamingkillermc2806 I mean its more like a Monitor in a Apple Suit as in the motherboard is missing and such the only original parts are the displaypanel the case and the powerport at the back

Time to get some

A) more of a precaution than anything. Afaik they cannot be deactivated remotely (there isn’t a mechanism in there for it) however they could block it from being updated/restored B) firmware is closer to an arm mac, there is a recovery partition however it doesn’t function properly C) yes and no. In theory yes, In theory the early builds of macOS for it would be semi compatible with an iPad due to the inclusion of drivers and some such. However in reality it would likely be impossible due to signing and whatnot

Cool, thanks!

That'd be interesting actually but you'd have to put the NAND as well since I think they are all tied and it's a question if it would work then but if the display drivers could be ported over then you'd have a macOS iPad.

U could probably just get away with swapping the Ramchips from the SoC

Haha a lot of searching

Unfortunately, he and Apple Demo are gate keeping everything, they never share anything

@@Unkn0wnz_anon if thats the case i wonder if we could get the dtk ourselves?

Unfortunately it doesn’t work with it in the slightest

a. That's not happening, at least any time soon. b. The actually stable versions of the OS could be pulled from the release M1 machines c. You can download the IPSWs for this anyway.

Why? Macs suck

@@𰻝 Arm macs are great though

@@𰻝windows user😭😭😭

It has special thermal paste on it he wouldn't be able to replace easily if the heatsink was removed.

FR

unfortunately, OCLP is x86 exclusive i think

Sure... 'cause like... that totally matters in any of this.

Exactly, it was functional enough to be fit for purpose
