There’s literally only one feature on the iPad I want: virtualization. Can it do that yet?

discuss

No, not yet (not without jailbreak, at least). https://worthdoingbadly.com/hv/ mentions that M1 iPads "already have Hypervisor support unlocked in the kernel" so they might be planning something for someday…

Not until they're forced to by court order.

Remember, even arbitrary code execution is officially not allowed yet (yes there are exceptions)

Why is this being downvoted? with virtualization you could just run a linux distro or whatever and a lot of the complains in this thread would be resolved

> UTM is supported on iOS 11, 12, and 13 for non-jailbroken devices through sideloading. UTM requires a jailbreak to use on iOS 14.

That is emulation, using I would guess qemu. The ipad hardware is capable of full hardware virtualization.
