Apple just lost its lawsuit trying to ban iOS virtual machines

A three year old article was discussed yesterday (from the Washington Post, 2020 - referenced in this article) - there were even comments in thread about the article being dated (perhaps OP used the wrong URL). This is the result of 11th circuit appeal of that 2020 judgement (which upholds it), opened in 2021 and closed.. yesterday.

Maybe the Bloomberg Law article is a bit clearer ["Apple Fails to Fully Reboot iOS Simulator Copyright Case"](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/apple-fails-to-revive-c...)

Depends on what you want to emulate (do you want access to phone capabilities), but this is the first link I found:

Parallel or something like that lets you run windows on mac os.

I think thats a fair decision, always found macs looking nice, but dislike many of the apps. Windows and ms suite on mac is on my bucket list now.

Legally you 'can', but does apple have to support it? do they have to expose those apis to the public? are they forced to implement them and spend the time to do validation testing for it?
