Apple Approves First PC Emulator for iPhone and iPad

The UTM SE app allows users to run classic operating systems and retro games, marking a shift in Apple's policy.

  • UTM SE is now available on the App Store, enabling iPhone and iPad users to emulate DOS, Windows, and Mac OS.
  • The app's approval follows Apple's previous rejection, citing that PCs are not consoles.
  • Users can run a variety of operating systems, from Windows XP to Linux, but GPU emulation is not supported.
  • The app includes pre-built virtual machines and links to setup guides for various systems.
  • This policy change may be influenced by regulatory scrutiny and collaboration with third-party developers.
