No, completely different kernels and hardware. Apples iOS is closed source, for the most part, and written for their specific hardware. Like other said, there's launchers and stuff if you want the look and feel of iOS, but you can't but straight up iOS on an Android device.

I'm sure there is a way to put iOS on one though, but you'd have to mutate the hell out of it, and at that point it's no longer iOS anyway so... yeah

Nope. But there are launcher/home screen replacement apps to turn your phone (aesthetically) into IOS8

Thanks. I couldn't believe it myself. A classmate of mine told me that you can do it. He didn't believe me and let me ask it here. Guess we showed him. xD
