Apple Updates App Store Guidelines for PC Emulator Apps

you know what each device can do before you buy them.
to expect Apple to change things to suit your perceived needs beggars belief.

While I also am of the belief "you knew what it was when you bought it," a case can be made why Apple and it's users could benefit from allowing VMs and not crippling them when they do. It's similar to Parallels on my Mac, which gives me the ability to run one or two Windows programs without carrying around a second device.

It's just about flexibility and options. If my iPad Pro could run Windows at a reasonable speed there would be times I really wouldn't need my Mac when I'm out. Given the M series chips' power I suspect they could easily do that; if they wanted to and might sell one or two more pros in the process.

details on what you want iPadOS to do that it isnt?

Run Visio and a fully featured version of Office to use VBA.

this makes no sense sorry.

If you don’t know what iPadOS is lacking then I’m not going to waste my time with this conversation, plenty of people talking about why it’s not up to snuff

I literally just gave an example, you can’t emulate OS’s without loads of lag due to no support for JIT. You can do this with every other OS including macOS….

And many more use it everyday and find it fully meets their needs. The handful of posters here hardly are representative of the iPad customer base and how they view its usefulness.

and I'd bet 99.9% of the iPad users have zero interest in emulation of any kind.

Which of course is irrelevant to the discussion.

I love this response. Love it.

"Google it", "You know", "Plenty of talking..."

I asked what you think is missing. Your personal needs that iPadOS isnt meeting.

iPad never said they allowed emulators or JIT when you bought the device.

Have you bought a car?
Expected a Hyundai Excel to race like a Porsche Macan?
"But they are both cars and should be able to perform all the things I want them to..."

Just because hardware is capable of doing something doesn't mean the devs of that OS have to enable it...

I'd love Apple devices to support LDAC Bluetooth codec. It could. They choose not to. I live with it knowing that.
Sometimes that's just life mate.

Why do they not get that iOS is not MacOS?

You know if Apple ever implemented MacOS on iOS devices they would complain about them getting hot or not enough battery power life.

But but but... "I want to run what I want".

This forum is so skewed towards a few loud voices calling for things 99.9% of the active iOS using base care nothing about.

And as they keep ignoring, do it on an Android device if you want.
The option is there. But no they'd rather whinge and force Apple to change...

I don’t even own an iPad lmao. And guess what? I’m allowed to want it to do more than it can do.

So as a potential customer, what do you want?
