Apple Now Allows Emulator Apps On The App Store - It's Finally Happening!
Apple's decision to allow emulators on the iPhone is likely due to a combination of factors:
Compliance with EU Regulations: A big driver seems to be the EU's Digital Markets Act, which requires companies like Apple to allow for alternative app stores on their devices [1]. This could have pressured Apple to loosen its grip on the app ecosystem, including allowing emulation apps.
Shifting Market Landscape: Emulation is a popular activity for many gamers, and Apple might be recognizing this demand. By allowing curated emulators with proper licensing, they could attract a wider audience and potentially increase App Store revenue.
Focus on "Retro" Games: Apple currently restricts emulators to "retro console games," which might be a way to mitigate concerns about copyright infringement for newer titles. They might be aiming for a nostalgia market where licensing is less of an issue.
It's still early days for emulators on iPhone, and it will be interesting to see how Apple refines its policies and how developers respond.
