Apple already has had emulators for iOS for years, it’s how most devs do mobile development.
AFAIK Apple does not release an iPhone emulator to the public. There is one third party emulator I’m aware of but that’s mainly intended for security research and not general development.
it’s way nicer than running on an actual iPhone or iPad (I don’t have either anyway).

Hard disagree.
Xcode has a simulator that can run any model of iPhone or iPad. Works exactly like a real device.
Yup, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. I think it’s a real emulator given how crappy it runs, but I could be wrong.
If you want to test something performance sensitive, it sucks. But for regular edit/reload dev cycle, I much prefer it.
