The iPhone 5 is locked down by default. You can not change anything of the OS.
In theory (!) there are ways to install other software with a jailbreak, but that is for experts only who don't care if they break a few iPhones before it works.

Or in other words: If you buy an Apple phone, you get a free chain around your ankle with it.

It's possible but you may endup with non-supportivie device driver.
You have to write a device driver for your IPhone 5.

So you have a device which you have paid over the odds for to have the OS and hardware work in perfect harmony, yet you want to use another OS now......is this a joke?

it is true that the idea of ​​buying the device and the bone intérgrée high price with good reason it is not at all the blow except for those who already own an iphone (5) and regrets of they have the bones of preinstalled above would change a ubuntu os phone! I hear a lot of people who say they do not personally be attracted to iphone ubuntu os phone it is beautiful and very well go on an iPhone for people who want to change their bones! do not forget there are many who are disgusted I think apple! view this from another angle after reflection I think we could be satisfied with not bad! open source is not for that? satisfy the user not satisfied by an alternative conclusive

I'll be thankful for you bullet if he can make driver for iphone 5

I'm using Ubuntu in my laptop and I'm satisfied with it I don't know why games and famous apps doesn't support Ubuntu

Ubuntu is amazing and that's why I need it in my iphone 5 beside that android apps can be installed on Ubuntu phone os so I can have both android and ios in my phone without buying Samsung or any other android based phone
