;touchHLE
: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 iPhone OS 2.x, with plans to 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 [https://archive.org/download/iOSObscura/iPhoneOS%202/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. Super Monkey Ball Lite and Touch & Go Lite, the only supported free games, are the third and fourth one ones supported. A game controller is required to control the accelerometer.

;Corellium
:A service made by the Isrealian Israeli company of the same name that runs any modern iOS devices, some Android devices, or bring-your-own IoT devices on either the cloud or a self -hosted server. Emulation is basically perfect, and they have hardware iOS 10.3 to the latest iOS version, with debugging features and security tools, as well as IPA installing. They also have iPhone 7 to the latest iPhone in terms of hardware. The devices run on an ARM hypervisor. For individuals, it costs 99 USD for 2 two cores, which only has iPhone 7, and 295 USD for 6 six cores, to use modern iPhones. The site also prohibits users under 18 from using their service. The service is also made for cybersecurity, not gaming.

;BlackThunder
: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. However , some simulators , e.g. BlackThunder, make use of the simulator in the iOS SDK to run a few chosen iOS apps that are recompiled for x86. [[BlackThunder]] (Chinese:黑雷模拟器),website is a closed source, commercial iOS simulator that can run a few commercial iOS apps. Unlike previous emulation trails, BlackThunder firstly loads a highly trimmed Hackintosh image via VirtualBox, which loads Xcode and an iOS simulator into it, then runs iOS apps that are decompiled and recompiled for the x86 architecture.
