The M1 processors used in the latest Macs are based on technology first developed for the company's iPhone and iPad. (In fact, the current iPad Pro uses the same M1 processor.) Because of this, the M1 brings to the Mac the ability to run iPhone and iPad apps.
Why would you want to run an iPhone or iPad app on a Mac in the first place? Well, it's possible that there is no Mac equivalent of the app you want to use. Or maybe you like using a particular app, regardless of the hardware it is running on. Whatever the reason, it's a great way to use the tools you want.
To run an iPhone or iPad app, your Mac must have an M1 processor or later. If you have an Intel-based Mac, it's a lot trickier. You have to use an emulator, an app that simulates iOS or iPados-here's how to do that (fave.co/35UZY86).
