First PC emulator hits App Store
Now you can run Mac OS X (or Windows XP!) on iPhone or iPad.
It’s long been a dream of iPad users — running the Mac operating system on iPad instead of iPadOS. And now’s your chance!
The just-released UTM SE emulator, available for free on the App Store, allows you to run several older operating systems, including vintage versions of Mac OS X, on iPhone, iPad or Vision Pro.
You also can hold your nose and run Linux — or even Windows XP.
Talk about a dream come true!

If you hate the iOS Amazon app cutting out your audio every time you open it, that’s because it’s listening 24/7 for you to say “Alexa.” Make sure mic permissions are disabled and you’re off to the races!

Every good product that I've ever seen, in this industry and pretty much anywhere, is because a group of people cared deeply about making something wonderful that they and their friends wanted.
