Apple Opens App Store to Retro Game Emulators

In a significant policy change, Apple will now allow game emulators on its platform, complying with EU regulations and responding to US antitrust pressures.

Apple has updated its App Store review guidelines to allow retro game emulators, enabling users to play classic games on their iPhones.
The change is part of Apple's compliance with EU regulations and pressure from antitrust lawsuits in the United States.
Developers can now distribute game emulators via the App Store, but they must ensure the software complies with Apple's guidelines and applicable laws.
The move opens up new possibilities for gaming on iOS devices, potentially bringing popular emulators like Retroarch and Dolphin to the platform.
The decision is seen as a significant shift for Apple, which has historically been protective over the types of apps allowed on its App Store.
