On April 25, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it had voted by a margin of 3-2 to restore net neutrality rules that were repealed in 2017 by the Trump administration. This means that internet service providers (ISPs) in the United States will be reclassified by the FCC as common carriers, in a move similar to how net neutrality was handled by the Obama administration in 2015.
The market for iPhone games has become so wide and diverse that it can realistically compete with most console and PC offerings. Where we once only got cheap time-wasters, we now have complete experiences that don’t feel any less impressive than what the competition offers. In fact, a lot of games made for consoles are appearing on the iPhone now that it is becoming so powerful. However, older games have paradoxically been mostly absent from the app store. That all could be about to change as emulation is now allowed on iPhone, though with some caveats that any retro fan should know about before getting too excited to play all your favorite NES games on your phone. Here’s what’s up with iPhone emulators, as well as our picks for a few of the best ones you can get right now.
A free retro Nintendo game emulator is now live on the Apple App Store, and because of recent changes made to Apple's app review guidelines, it's actually permitted to be on there. Whether Nintendo will take kindly to it is another matter, given its stance that "supporting emulation also supports the illegal piracy of our products."
NVIDIA is working with its partners to create a new SFF gaming PC ecosystem which will be driven by "SFF Enthusiast GeForce" GPUs.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 power connector issues still exist as the repair shop, Northridge Fix, continues to receive hundreds of burnt units.
A huge new change just landed in Fortnite today, and very few players seem happy about it. Color-coded cosmetic rarities are now a thing of the past, meaning there's no more obvious separation between a Rare skin and a Legendary one, and fans are worried what this means for the future of skin prices.
Apple allowed users to sideload apps and install third-party app stores on the iPhone with its big iOS 17.4 update, but it appears that the company did not do enough. The EU has imposed a hefty fine over the non-satisfactory changes that Apple implemented on the App Store and has requested to further comply with the Digital Markets Act. With a $2 billion fine, Apple was required to update the App Store again with the required changes. The updated App Store guidelines offer the ability for streaming apps to be redirected to an external website along with developers to offer game emulators on the App Store.
In addition to updating its developer guidelines to allow music streaming apps to link to external website, Apple has also added new language that allows game emulators on the App Store. The updated guidelines, first noticed by 9to5Mac, now say that retro gaming console emulator apps are welcome and can even offer downloadable games. Apple also reportedly confirmed to developers in an email that they can create and offer emulators on its marketplace.
