Video Demos macOS Catalina Running on iPad Pro via x86 Emulation

A video demonstrating macOS Catalina (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-10-15/) running on a current 2020 iPad Pro (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/l1w17g/macos_catalina_running_on_ipad_pro_2020_using_utm/) has been shared on YouTube, giving us a look at an interesting hack that has a Mac OS up and working on one of Apple's iPads.

There's limited information about how the process of getting &zwnj;macOS Catalina&zwnj; on an iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) works, but it uses x86 emulation and was done through the UTM software (https://getutm.app) that allows virtual machines to run on iOS.





Booting up into &zwnj;macOS Catalina&zwnj; took a full 20 minutes, though the original creator says that it has since been optimized and now takes approximately 5 to 7 minutes. The video is over 37 minutes long due to how slow &zwnj;macOS Catalina&zwnj; is on the iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), and it is not a functional or usable installation at this time, but it's interesting to see the macOS operating system on an &zwnj;iPad Pro&zwnj;.
