Overview
- 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.
