The term ’emulator’ has become common these days, especially in the context of applications and video games. IOS emulators are programs that replicate the hardware of iOS devices so you can run iPhone or iPad apps/games on other operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.Īlthough there a variety of emulators that use different emulation methods, their end goal is always the same: to efficiently replicate the experience of original hardware or software.
