What Cloud Device is, and how it differs from Home Device
Cloud Device is a real iPhone in our facility. It appears in the console when you start it. No hardware to buy, no jailbreak. Same console as Home Device.
Cloud Device is a real iPhone in our facility — not an Android emulator, not a VM wearing an iOS skin. Also called an iOS cloud phone.
Once you start it, the phone appears in the same console you already use. Open a browser to mirror and group-control it. No PC client.
What you get
- A real facility iPhone, ready on the facility side. You don’t install TrollStore or jailbreak it
- Hardware HID touch, not software-layer fake taps
- Default US dedicated line; change the exit with SK5 (you bring the nodes)
- Same device list as Home Device; mix them in one group
- Models are mostly iPhone 8 / SE / SE2 / SE3, iOS 17 or 18, assigned at start
- No Apple ID. Install apps from the app market
Versus Home Device
| Cloud Device | Home Device | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the phone comes from | Rent a facility iPhone | Connect your own iPhone |
| Modify the phone? | No | Needs TrollStore or a jailbreak already on it |
| Device network | Default US line, SK5 optional | The phone’s own network, Shadowrocket optional |
| Touch | Hardware HID | Human-like touch |
| App cloning and data cleanup | No | Yes |
| Apple ID / App Store | Cannot sign in | Your own Apple ID |
Home Device has the higher ceiling, because the hardware is yours. Cloud Device is for when you have no phones yet, and for the facility US line.
