I really wish the opposite of this (QEMU on iOS) existed. The closest I have been able to find is a build of Bochs that doesn't actually work on my iPad. Someday!

Wow, if I ran on iOS 9.3 I could get some use out of my old "iPad with Retina Display" (aka Ipad 3).

Different projects. iSH has the advantage of not requiring sideloading.

what do you use it for? my understanding is x86 on software arm is pretty slow (though some things are probably fine e.g. text/cli utilities)

UTM is actually not too horrible on the newer iPads with more RAM once the JIT warms up.
