Beeper Mini Is Back
I don't think they're using false or duplicate Apple devices for this. I think that it may be likely they are using AWS resources for it: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
When AWS first came out with these, this was my first thought. People could spin up an EC2 instance and use it for iMessage, and Beeper came to be shortly after this feature went live in AWS.

How can I play with macos e.g. in the cloud? Or any other way? I have windows and never used mac before.
AWS do have Mac instances you can use, although I'm not sure if you get the full macOS UI experience. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

Should I dual-boot Ventura for daily purposes?
If all you really need is to write swift, you could use something like https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX or https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
- Is it possible to create/terminate ec2 instances based on certain events?

Cheapest option for IOS development in 2023
I’m pretty sure that terms and conditions thing you’re worrying about is fake news. AWS offer Big Sur instances and they’re charged per second. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
- Will this code work on macOS??

I'm needing to buy a used Mac for testing. What should I know about getting a used Mac?
Have seen that AWS have a mac host option. Perfect for testing environments.

Is there any way of setting up a free Mac OS VM on Windows 10?
You can also spin up an EC2 instance on AWS, yes: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

Which Mac mini should I buy?
get yourself a VM from AWS, MacStadium, macOS-VM etc.

VirtualBox KVM Public Release
Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).
I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.

NixThePlanet - Run macOS, Windows and more via a single Nix command + nixosModules
Working on a patch to include it as a flake input instead of vendoring it in the repo, so this should no longer be true. I use the QCOW2s for OpenCore from osx-kvm that I have not figured out how to reproduce yet https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore/OpenCore.qcow2

[PROJECT] Working on a project called ultimate-macOS-KVM!
For almost a year, I have been coding a little project in Python intended to piggyback on the framework of kholia's OSX-KVM project, known as ultimate-macOS-KVM, or ULTMOS.

FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization
I just researched a bit, mac os x guest vm with pcie passthrough seems possible on linux.

VirGL
VirGL is definitely an interesting project, but all one has to do to get GPU passthrough working (from a Linux QEMU host to any guest OS) is: 1.) research a cheap, secondary GPU that is natively supported by the guest OS, 2.) plug such a secondary GPU into a PCIe slot on the host and hook it up to the primary monitor with a secondary cable (D-Sub vs. DVI, etc.), 3.) setup Linux to ignore the secondary GPU at boot and configure a QEMU VM for the GPU passthrough. The whole process takes perhaps one or two hours and as works flawlessly, with no stability issues. (Switching across the two GPU cables can be accomplished in software by using Display Data Channel /DDC/ utilities and switching keyboard/mouse can be accomplished by using evdev /event device/ passthrough.)

What are the current best methods for virtualizing MacOS on Linux?
I also see there is KVM-OSX which looks to be actively maintained, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
You can use qemu/libvirt/kvm on any Linux host to run macOS pretty easily these days[1]. I run Ventura on unraid with nvidea gpu passthrough and it’s been fairly painless.
You can also run macOS in docker, but it’s ultimately running through qemu/kvm as well[2]
