Apart from health, finance, entertainment, and calling, there is one more exciting way you can use your iPad and iPhone; it’s gaming. iPhone and iPad are fully equipped to play high-quality games. One of my favorites is Need for Speed No Limits by Electronic Arts.

IPhone, iPad, Mac apps merging? Apple SDK will create iOS apps that work on Mac. Apple's incoming software development kit will reportedly initially let devs publish iPad apps that work on Mac. You can’t natively run iPad 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 new Apple -designed chips that are similar to the ARM chips in iPadOS devices, making them compatible.

But what haunts me is the desire to play it on a big screen in order to get the best out of it. There is one way by which we can enjoy such high-quality games: play them on Mac using QuickTime player. It is the safest and best way because there are no third-party apps involved.

How to Play iPhone or iPad Game on Your Mac Using QuickTime Player

Step #1. Connect your iPhone or iPad with your Mac using lightning cable.

Step #2. Open QuickTime player once your device is connected to your Mac.

Step #3. Click “File” from the menu bar in QuickTime player.

Step #4. Now click on “New Movie Recording.”

Step #5.“FaceTime HD Camera” would be selected by default; just change it to your iPhone or iPad located just below this option.

QuickTime will now start mirroring your device display on your Mac. To have a full-screen display, simply click on the green full-screen icon.

The best part is that your iOS device will work as a controller while your Mac will be used as a display.

In addition, QuickTime will automatically move from landscape to portrait mode depending on your device movement. So you will enjoy the same excitement of gaming on Mac as you do on your iPhone or iPad.

So? Which is the first iPhone game you played on your Mac? Share with us in the comment.

Older Intel-based Macs can’t run iPad apps without an emulator, which isn’t easy to use and has many limitations.

If you want to run apps from your iPad on a Mac, the traditional answer is that you can't – at least not ordinarily. There is an exception — you can use an iPadOS emulator on your Mac. Read more about that below. But at this time, iPad apps are fundamentally incompatible with the architecture and operating system on a Mac computer. That is changing, though.

You'll be able to run iPad apps on some Macs soon

At the beginning of 2020, Apple announced that it would soon start to produce Mac computers with its own Apple-designed chipsets, abandoning the Intel chips it has used for many years. When it does this, the new Macs — which will share a similar architecture to iPadOS devices — will be able to run iPad apps.

Apple has made its own ARM-based chips for iOS and iPadOS devices for years. ARM chipsets are characterized as low-power processors commonly found in mobile devices like phones, tablets, and some laptops, optimized to deliver the best battery life. Starting late in 2020, Apple is expecting to release MacBooks and other Mac computers with similar high-performance ARM chips.

Because of the similar architecture, Apple has already announced that this will allow Apple computers to natively run iPad apps with no further changes or modifications. You'll be able to install iPad apps directly from the Mac's app store.

The exact timing is uncertain, but the first of these new Macs are expected before the end of 2020. Keep in mind that for quite some time to come, there will be both Intel chipset and Apple chipset Macs around, and only the ones with Apple chipsets will be able to run iPad apps. This might be a little confusing until most Intel-based Macs have been retired.
