No Porting iOS 16 (XNU kernel) to a Samsung Galaxy S8's Exynos 8895 requires low-level kernel, bootloader, and hardware driver work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a kernel port of XNU to the Exynos 8895 SoC, including bootloader integration, device-tree and memory-map work, and drivers for display, storage, touch, and baseband-adjacent peripherals. This requires experienced kernel, ARM bring-up, and reverse-engineering engineers with access to the hardware and iOS source or binary internals.
