Differenence between Real system and Emulator?

There is a major difference between a real system and emulator. A real system has its own physical existence. On the other hand, an emulator only acts as a real system.

For example: An ios device has its own separate specification and its own mechanism to process tasks which a windows or any other operating system can’t understand.

In this case, emulators are used. They enable a system to run different system applications on it. The processing speed of emulators are slow than the real system because the real system that has to be run on the emulator and the host system on which emulator is running both have different physical specification. Emulator works as a translator in between these two environments. Due to different instructions sets of both real and host system, you face speed issue while using emulators.
