Do any of the iOS emulators for a PC actually work? I am referring to software that purports to run iOS apps on a PC (a Google search for "iOS on PC" lists iPadian, iPhone Simulator, etc.).

I have no ambitions of trying to turn a PC into an iPad, although just as Boot Camp and Parallels provide for a Mavericks partition on a PC, I would buy a product that accomplishes the same result for iOS. Meanwhile, I would be interested in learning what sort of performance degradation or other problems might be expected from current iOS emulators.

There are no applications that can emulate iOS. They are all scams.

Simulation is not the same thing as emulation either. Know the difference. It is the one thing that gets everyone who looks for these things.

Don't know about iOS but there's a program called Bluestacks that will let you run Android apps on pc.
