[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1911733, member: 38864"] The short answer is "yes". The long answer is "it depends" when it comes to iOS apps. They technically can run pretty much any iOS app. However, some developers may have blocked installation of their apps to Macs. Sometimes it may be because they already have a Mac-optimized version of their app. Sometimes they know their iOS app simply won't work well on a Mac due to heavy reliance on touch, motion sensors, etc. I've encountered a few that weren't blocked but should have been because they simply don't work. Oh they'll launch, but I can't actually use them. [/QUOTE]
