It hasn't been long since Apple started allowing it. We have already seen notable controversy after the company from the window. It turned out that iGBA, which reached the top of the download charts, was almost a carbon copy of another emulator submitted for review.
GBA4iOS developer Riley Testut claimed that iGBA was a “GBA4iOS knockoff” that was packed with ads and trackers. It turns out that Delta by Testut, successor to GBA4iOS, is now available for free on the App Store.
The original emulator generated some buzz a decade ago after Testut found a way for iPhone users to do without it. Apple eventually and of course Nintendo were. However, now you can download Delta for free from the app store directly without having to worry about side loading.
Along with GBA titles, the app supports NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Nintendo DS games, with the promise of more platforms in the future. The app supports third-party controllers, as well as quick saves, cheat codes, and data syncing between devices using Google Drive or Dropbox. There's even local multiplayer for up to four players, although in that case you'll probably want to use an iPad or mirror your phone to your TV.
You will need to you want to play on the emulator. To stay on the right side of the law, you must in ROM files.

Testut is also behind a third-party app marketplace called AltStore, which iPhone users in the EU can now access more easily.
AltStore PAL is an open source marketplace that includes Delta and another app developed by Testut called Clip, which is a clipboard manager. The latter requires a small donation of at least one euro for use. Testut noted that he and his business partner Shane Gill plan to open AltStore PAL to other third-party apps after making sure everything runs smoothly.
That said, AltStore PAL costs users €1.50 per year. That covers the basic technology fee that Apple charges for each download from an app marketplace, as well as payment processing. Alternatively, you can use the older version of AltStore, but you will still need to use a computer to download apps and update them once a week.
