PC emulator comes to iOS, but Apple’s restrictions hamper performance

Quick Summary:

UTM SE's lack of JIT compilation means "SE stands for Slow Edition".

But users will need to bring their own legitimate Windows installation ISO and go through the cumbersome process of installing the OS as well as a version of SPICE tools to help coordinate access through iOS (downloading pre-built, UTM-compatible Linux builds seems more straightforward).

Built on the generic command-line emulation layer QEMU, the open-source UTM boasts support for "30+ processors," from x86 and PowerPC to RISC-V and ARM64.
