So with the new iPad Pro, an iOS version of Dolphin Emulator should be imminent - dampflokfreund - 11-02-2018
And using Metal, it would perform just extremly fast. Geekbench scored 5k at single core and 18k on multicore, so there's enough power to emulate dolphin perfectly.
How are the plans of releasing a iOS version of Dolphin Emulator, especially considering Apple announced the iPad Pro 2k18 which would be perfect for it?

There are no concrete plans right now.

Apple has no interest in letting anybody run a JIT outside of Safari, or emulators in general, and goes to extensive measures to enforce that. Since Apple doesn't want us to support their platform, I don't see why we should go through the effort.
And maintaining a port for jailbroken devices is a no go because we would have nobody to maintain it.

That's unfortunate. I hope Apple reconsiders this behaviour with the next iOS.
