The iPhone 6 is the best smartphone Apple’s ever created, but for those that think iOS is starting to look a little old and dated, a Chinese programmer has figured out how to install an entirely new operating system over iOS. Unfortunately, it’s Windows 95.
Chinese programmer xyq058775 posted the picture above as proof that he finagled Microsoft’s ancient OS onto the enormous display of the iPhone 6. To pull off the trick, the programmer used a tool called iDos, which simulates the 16-bit DOS environment.
Everything worked great, he says, except he discovered he couldn’t upgrade to Windows XP. If you’d like to take the plunge on your iPhone, you can grab the full instructions from his post (as long as you can read Chinese).

BLASPHEMY!!!!!
That’s not windows 95, that’s just samsung’s touchwiz! :P
Now the iPhonez can be really productive. :p
Nothing like going backwards to experience why they don’t make that OS anymore. Great. Now, let’s all try to run SOS, C/PM or Amiga OS on an iPhone and really waste time.

Why do you repeatedly say that this was done on an iPhone 6, with an enormous display, Buster? It was done on a completely different phone.
Thats a damned big iPhone 6. /s AND HOW can you get a 30YO 16b OS to run on a 64b OS. I call BS.
It’s actually Windows 98 on iPhone 6 Plus, according to Redmond Pie. Anyway.. it’s hideous.
Just because you can do it doesn’t mean that you should do it.
