Apple rejects PC emulators on the iOS App Store

Quick Summary:

New iOS emulation rules only apply to "retro game consoles," not retro computers.

The reported two-month review process for the UTM app ended with "the App Store review board determin[ing] that 'PC is not a console' regardless of the fact that there are retro Windows/DOS games fo[r] the PC that UTM SE can be useful in running," the developer said.

It's still the same old unreasonable answer along the line of "we know it when we see it".
