Developer Makes History by Running ‘Doom’ on Apple’s Lightning to HDMI Adapter

A developer has successfully run the classic game 'Doom' on an Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter, a device typically used to output video from older iPhones and iPads. The adapter contains a System on Chip (SoC) that runs a stripped-down version of iOS, which the developer jailbroke to install and run Doom. The game's footage is rendered on an external monitor connected to the adapter. This achievement joins a list of other surprising platforms that have run 'Doom,' such as calculators and digital price tags. The Lightning to HDMI adapter is still sold by Apple for $49, though it can be found for $39 on Amazon.
