Apple Approves First PC Emulator for iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro

UTM SE enables users to run classic operating systems and software on Apple devices, following a policy reversal by the tech giant.

  • UTM SE is available for free on the iOS and visionOS App Store, with an upcoming release on AltStore PAL in the EU.
  • The emulator supports x86, PPC, and RISC-V architectures, allowing users to run old Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
  • Apple initially rejected UTM SE, citing policy violations, but later approved a JIT-less version of the app.
  • UTM SE does not include operating systems but provides guides and pre-built virtual machines for users.
  • This approval may signal further policy changes by Apple regarding emulators on its platforms.
