Apple Approves First PC Emulator for iPhone, iPad on the App Store

UTM Slow Edition (SE) approved: Apple approves UTM SE, the first PC emulator, on the App Store after an initial rejection.

Revised decision: Apple's decision to allow UTM SE is a change from its previous policy of only allowing retro game emulators.

UTM SE features: The app allows users to run old PC games and software, emulates various architectures, and supports both graphics and text-only modes.

Built on QEMU: UTM SE is built on the Quick Emulator (QEMU) machine emulator.

Previous rejection: Apple initially rejected UTM's application because it did not meet its policy of only allowing retro game emulators.

Policy changes: The approval of UTM SE suggests further policy changes by Apple regarding emulators on the App Store.

Uncertain future: It is unclear whether Apple will allow more PC and software emulators in the future or if this was an exception due to UTM SE not using the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler.
