Emulator Vs Simulator

A simulator is an environment that models but an emulator is one that replicates the usage as on the original device or system. The simulator mimics the activity of something that it is simulating.

A simulator is a software that helps your computer run certain programs built for a different Operating System. They are mostly meant for iPhone and iPad devices, unlike Android devices that can be emulated easily.

A simulator provides a fast and easy way to set up a software environment for application testing purposes without mimicking actual hardware. An emulator takes things a step further by emulating software as well as hardware configurations.
