What commenters are saying

Commenters note this project runs a complete iOS user-space via virtualization, unlike the iOS Simulator which shares the host kernel. This enables kernel debugging, testing apps that require real hardware (camera, network extensions), and running jailbroken environments on latest iOS versions. Multiple users express excitement for security research and performance testing, but note the requirement to partially disable SIP restricts corporate use. Some discuss regional regulatory checks (EU/Japan) that break the VM and Apple's history with Corellium.
