The entire project continues to be developed based on the previous iOS porting results of Redmi Note 10 Pro, and has been adapted to the CPU architecture, memory management, display output, etc. of Snapdragon 685. The developer stated in a technical document on October 18 that the device can already boot to the iOS lock screen in about 3 minutes.
