Boot a Virtual iPhone via Apple's Virtualization.framework

A developer has created vphone-cli, a command-line tool that enables users to boot virtualized iPhones on Apple Silicon Macs using Apple's Virtualization.framework. The tool automates the entire process from downloading and patching iOS firmware to installing custom firmware and launching the virtual device, requiring macOS 15+ (Sequoia) and various dependencies. Users can create and manage virtual iPhone instances with customizable CPU, memory, and disk configurations through simple commands.
