'''iOS''' devices started the smartphone craze which would go on to replace conventional mobile phones in both Japan (which had its own subset of cell phones) and the rest of the world, with more advanced touch-controlled devices.

;MAME
MAME has a driver for the IPhone (Modal:A1203) but is currently listed as "Preliminary" and its unknown if its still active or not.
;macOS Big Sur
The 17th major operating system of the macOS line. It has support for iOS and iPadOS applications for Apple M1 based Macs, however some apps are not installed due to Apple DRM.
;Corellium[https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/25/corellium-now-offers-ios-virtualization-tool-for-individual-subscribers/ Corellium] offers virtual iOS-based devices to security researchers. ==History of Failed failed iOS Emulation Attemptsemulation attempts==
Many of the currently available '''"simulators"''' only try recreating popular iOS apps (like browsers) in a PC application with no real emulation involved. Some notable [[Emulator scams|scams]] in such fashion are called '''iPadian''' or variations on the name, and are often '''malware'''.
iOS apps are distributed in the IPA format. Like its Android counterpart, APK files, they can be opened as a regular zip file most of the time and their contents dissected this way.
