Is there a way to get the iOS cardback without an iOS device?

Title.

There are Android emulators for PC to get the Android cardback, but are there any iOS emulators capable of running Hearthstone to get the iOS cardback?

Note: I’ve never (or never plan to) owned an iOS device, so my knowledge on their function (ie: sideloading, jailbreaking, etc) is essentially 0.

EDIT: I probably should have googled ‘ios emulator’ first. I’ll edit this post once I’ve found one that works (PC, Windows 7).

EDIT2: Hrmm… looks like iOS is so locked down that emulation on a scale that requires Hearthstone to run isn’t possible. Oh well. If I’m wrong, I’d love to be corrected!

Find a friend who has an iPhone/iPad and log into Hearthstone on their device. Then log out.

Unfortunately, I’m bereft of friends with inferior communication devices. :wink:

First; “you’re”, not “your”.
Second; I’m not a “phone elitist”, it’s known that iOS devices are functionally inferior to similar spec Android devices.
Third; I simply don’t have any friends that have an iOS device.

I got it from a shop where they let you test their phones. None of my friends are that foolish to buy an apple phone :joy:

There is a very easy way to get this on PC.
In your Hearthstone folder, modify your client.config file by converting it to a text file. If the file does not exist, then create a text document and edit it before converting it to a config file.
Type this into the file or edit the text to be like this if it already exists:

[Emulation]
emulateOnDevice = 1
DeviceName = “iPhone”

Then just start the game and voilà! After you can just delete the file as it is not necessary even if it did exist before.
Also I want to add that emulators will not work.
