Changes

'''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'''iPadOS''' are operating systems created by Apple.

FormerlyiOS devices started the smartphone craze, iOS was used for which would go on to replace conventional mobile phones in both Apple's Japan (which had its own subset of cell phones ) and tablets. Then, the iOS brand was split in two parts in 2019rest of the world, with iOS now being the OS exclusively used in the iPhone and the nowmore advanced touch-defunct iPod Touch. The second half, named '''iPadOS''', is a fork of iOS made for iPads, hence it's name. Most iOS apps and games work on iPadOScontrolled devices.

Formerly, iOS was used for both Apple's phones and tablets. Then, the iOS brand was split into two parts in 2019, with iOS now being the OS exclusively used in the iPhone and the now-defunct iPod Touch. The second half, named iPadOS, is a fork of iOS for iPads that makes use of their larger screens, hence its name. Most iOS apps and games work on iPadOS. Unlike its direct competitor, [[Android emulators|Android]], there are practically no usable emulators, as the official iOS SDK (macOS-only) only allows for running your own projects, i.e., they run code generated for an x86 target rather than ARM code as used by iOS. Some simulators Similar to most of the Android emulators, some emulators (e.g., [[BlackThunder]]) make uses two-step approach, making use of the simulator in the iOS SDK to run a few chosen iOS apps that are recompiled for x86. Unlike previous emulation trails, BlackThunder first loads a highly trimmed Hackintosh image via VirtualBox, which loads Xcode and an iOS simulator into it, then runs decompiled iOS apps recompiled for the x86 architecture. Appetize.io and other tools that claim to emulate iOS on a web browser are in reality just the iOS simulator in XCode wrapped around a cloud stream to the web browser, and like the iOS XCode simulator, need the source code to run. More recently, touchHLE managed to get a few older iPhone OS apps running by recreating some of iOS’s standard libraries and emulating just the iPhone’s CPU, and nearly the same time, QEMU-iOS got released and can successfully emulate iPhone OS 1.0 on an iPod Touch 1st generation, albeit with bugs.

Also tons of obsolete non-active iOS "emulator" exists, see [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=IOS_emulators&oldid=72605 this page] for more.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;width:100%"

It has support for can emulate an iPod Touch 1G running iOS 1.0, including iBoot, the kernel, and the Springboard, although it requires a modified NOR and NAND image. Some features, such as audio and iPadOS applications for Apple M1Wi- Fi, are not emulated, and M2-based Macsthere are multiple crashes. HoweverAbout a year later, the same user managed to run iPhone OS 2 on an emulated iPod Touch 2G, however internet connectivity is not figured out yet, and nobody has yet ran a 3rd party app via filesystem hacks as of now, some apps as both networking and USB (iTunes) are unemulated and cannot be installed directly due to Apple DRM. This can be bypassed using an IPA file and PlayCover/Sideloadyregularly.

:; [[touchHLE]]MAME:A promising new endeavor that aims to run older iOS apps by reimplementing standard libraries instead of internal components. Because of this very high-level approach, no dump of the operating system is required. Its initial target is :Very basic iPhone OS 2.x, with plans to 2G support other 32-bit iOS versions, mainly 3.x and 4.x, as well as the iPad. Development started in December 2022, and its initial 0.1.0 release came out in February 2023. The only officially supported applications are available [https://archivegithub.orgcom/downloadmamedev/iOSObscuramame/iPhoneOS%202blob/com.ooi.supermonkeyball/ ''Super Monkey Ball''] – the dev’s inspiration for the project – which is fully playable and runs at full speed, even on mid-range laptops, as well as Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D. touchHLE supports running IPA files directly. [https:master/src/archive.orgmame/downloadapple/smblite-ios2.0-clutch-2.0iphone2g.4/smblite-iOS2.0-%28Clutch-2.0.4%29.ipa Super Monkey Ball Litecpp here] and Touch & Go Lite, the only supported free games, are the third and fourth ones supported. A game controller is required to control the accelerometer. Unfortunately, touchHLE is in some sort of a “fork hell” right now. Forks adding support for different apps by ciciplusplus <small>(which are in their GitHub fork of touchHLE, with all but one of them being a real pull request), among a few other pull requests adding more support for that cannot boot iOS apps by other people (in the open pull requests tab) are balkanized with no version providing one complete version of all the touchHLE branches in one</small>. There is no central “canary” branch that adds the functionality of all the forks in one package right now, unfortunately'''Unlikely to ever be completed. '''
