You can't run iPhone apps on a Mac computer without using an emulator, though that will change with a new generation of Macs, set to come out by the end of 2020. The new Macs will run on Apple's own chipsets that are similar to what's found in iOS devices. To run an iPhone app on an older Intel-based Mac, you need to use an emulator like Xcode. Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories. Your Mac isn't generally able to run apps from your iPhone. iOS apps are designed using a fundamentally different architecture than Mac software, which means they're incompatible – Mac programs can't run on iPhones, and iPhone apps can't run on Macs.
You'll soon be able to run iPhone apps on some Mac models
That's about to change, though. In an Apple developer conference earlier this year, Apple announced that it was going to stop building Macs with Intel-based CPUs. In its place, Apple is creating its own chipset in much the same way it already does for iPhones, iPads, and other iOS and mobile devices. When this happens, the new Macs will share a similar architecture to iOS devices and will be able to natively run iPhone apps.
