Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

    Oh, did the EU force them to make parts more available?

    Because 5 years ago, you not only had to get the parts from Apple, you had to get the parts VERIFIED by apple after installation.

    I think the Macbook had a sensor that detected when the macbook was closed and even that basic switch had to be Apple-validated.

      Yea, I believe it comes from the EU but Apple is as always doing the least they have to do, to stay legal. And I even think that the VERIFIED think is still a thing with it technically working but made artificially worse with warnings and what not.
