Would you consider transforming your iPhone into an Android device? The thought may initially prompt questions about the technical complexities involved—new software, jailbreaking, or intricate procedures you’d prefer to avoid. Surprisingly, a novel solution called the ‘Eye’ Kickstarter project offers a compelling option: a unique case for your iPhone that essentially transforms it into a dual-function smartphone running Android on the reverse side. The enthusiastic response speaks volumes, as the project has already exceeded its $92,000 goal well before the campaign’s conclusion in just 32 days.
Run Android on iPhone: Transform Your Device with Eye Project – Overview
The innovative ‘Eye’ case prompts the intriguing question: How will it function without draining the iPhone’s battery? The secondary smartphone at the rear boasts an independent setup separate from the encased iPhone, featuring a 5-inch AMOLED display with a full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920. Powered by the Heilo P20 SoC and a Mali-T880 GPU, the ‘Eye’ promises 3GB RAM, 16GB internal storage (expandable up to 256GB via microSD), Android 7.1 Nougat, and a 2800mAh battery, complemented by dual-SIM capability, NFC support, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Designed to accommodate iPhones ranging from 4.7-inch to 5.5-inch models post-2014, the ‘Eye’ case is set to begin shipping in August. Early bird pricing offers the case for $95, escalating to $189 post-campaign.
The success of the crowdfunding initiative guarantees mass production. With the campaign approaching the $500,000 mark, a higher capacity 10,000mAh battery is on the horizon. Milestone targets of $3 million promise IP67 certification, $7 million introduces a dual boot with Ubuntu, and if funding reaches $15 million, a triple boot feature will offer Windows 10 Mobile alongside Android and Ubuntu.
Pondering over the concept, one might question the allure of blending Android and iOS. Is this fusion of technologies an innovation worth embracing, or a confusing amalgamation? Share your thoughts on this unique project and its potential appeal. For those intrigued by the idea of enhancing their iPhone experience, exploring the ‘Eye’ promises an intriguing journey into the intersection of two distinct mobile operating systems.
