Your phone would reboot with a pineapple logo and console messages flying across the screen like a 1337 h4cker, starting with the "regents of the University of California, Berkeley" message. Then you'd go install a ton of Cydia hacks.

iOS has BSD roots.


Right, just BSD, not FreeBSD. Same with macOS, which also features that boot message.
