[Science and technology aren’t afraid to ask] Why can’t Windows learn iOS-piracy?
Netizens Anthony:
Apple computers you can install the Windows system, why don’t mobile piracy problems exist, such as Android phones installed iOS?
Tencent technology:
Simply put, Windows hardware to adapt the operating system, and hardware to fit Apple’s iOS operating system is.
Two different product logic determines its “transplant” the easy and difficult.
One, drive different
Driver is a small piece of code that is added to the operating system, which contains information about hardware devices. Armed with this information, the computer can communicate with the device.
Drivers are hardware vendors according to the configuration of the operating system to write the file, it can be said no driver, your computer hardware will not work. Operating systems, hardware drivers are not the same.
Apple is to use the operating system to adapt it to its own hardware, that is to say, Apple hardware only for your own use, of paragraphs to write a driver.
While the Windows are open, the logic is hardware to adapt the operating system. So is driven by hardware vendors to write a Windows platform.
IOS-driven uniqueness makes it difficult for other devices are compatible and Windows because is one of the few hardware manufacturers to write a driver, its compatible.
Second, design architecture
Using the same schema processor, performance is basically locked in a certain range, there will be no essential difference. However, if the schema is different, so performance is not consistent.
Depth of Apple’s iOS system is custom made ARM architecture, Android, Qualcomm’s general framework for general use. This also explains why most of the Android phones to each brush between operating systems.
Third, Apple’s strategy
Early CPU designed by Apple computer does not support Windows system, Apple’s Mac OS can only be installed on Apple computers.
However, after Apple adopted Intel processors, Apple’s desktop operating system after the hack, can be installed on machines in part of the Intel CPU with AMD CPU, giving rise to a large number of machines that are not purchased use Apple Macintosh operating systems, this is known as “black Apple” (Hackintosh).
For mobile operating systems, however, because of the closeness of the iOS itself, the source is not open. So if users want to brush the iOS system Android, this is difficult to achieve. This also explains why many of the fake Mac, use the Android system.
