Emulators for iPhone and iPad

Every emulator that runs on iOS and iPadOS

  • 8Emulators
  • 8Systems

These are the emulators on Emulation King that run on iPhone and iPad. Apple has allowed emulators on the App Store since 2024, so several of them install from there; the others need sideloading. Each page says which builds it offers. Faster emulators for newer systems are limited on iOS, because Apple doesn’t let apps compile code while they run.
