Virtualized iPhone running iOS 26.1 because yes (ft. Apple Silicon)

Big thanks to https://github.com/wh1te4ever/super-tart-vphone-writeup and https://github.com/Lakr233/vphone-cli.
This is a real virtual machine running iOS 26.1, no streaming, no emulation, etc. Should be jailbreakable, but I'm lazy.
This is possible because Apple included firmware of the "iPhone Virtual Research Environment" device with the recent cloudOS release, with some hacks and firmware mixing (cloudOS is based on iOS) it actually boots up to the GUI albeit with broken GPU acceleration due to missing ParavirtGPU MTL compiler plugin - fixable!!!
iPhone VRE itself is based on vresearch1 machine which is included with macOS since 15.1.

Uses Virtualization.framework, so obviously not compatible with other OSes and Intel Macs. Use Inferno (QEMUAppleSilicon), it boots iOS14 (and 15+ apparently too) now.
