Soon, you could play Mario, Contra, and other retro games on Apple iPhones

Apple has announced that it will allow video game emulator applications on iPhones through its App Store. Unlike recent App Store changes that Apple made to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union region, this change will be applicable globally.

With emulators, Apple is opening up its iPhone ecosystem to run retro gaming console emulators. Essentially, it would allow iPhone owners to play older-generation video games from the likes of Nintendo, Mitashi, and more.
