YouTube video of Window 95 on the iPhone. Sourced from Guardian Tech
Twitter.

I would take those claims with a pinch of salt. Surely it is easier to
get an open source OS which already supports the ARM architecture onto a
phone, than a closed source 15 year old OS with no ARM support at all.
Sounds (and looks) more like they wrote an iphone app that looks like
windows 95. Or it could even be a video of windows booting.

Looking at the video, it says it's an 80486 CPU with 32MB Ram. I
wouldn't be surprised if what they have done is converted something like
DOSBox to run on the iPhone. Of course Apple won't actually allow
emulators in the App Store (they blocked a Commodore 64 emulator) so
chances of it seeing the light of day as an official app seem unlikely.
