I don't have an iPhone but I need to try some iphone apps.

No iPhone emulator exists, not even for OS X! What you get with the iOS SDK is a simulator only.

Interestingly, I did get several search results for iPhone emulators, but digging deeper they were all:

• spam
• RAD engines such as http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/
• Windows builds of WebKit with an "iPhone" frame around the viewport http://labs.blackbaud.com/NetCommunity/article?artid=662
• A company claiming they would sell a WINE build for iPhones

It is possible to get qemu working well enough to install OS X, but last I checked it's not for the faint of heart. You needed to patch qemu (they may have incorporated the necessary patches in current versions, I haven't checked), replace the bootloader on the installer disk image, add a few kexts to the installer disk image (NullCPUPowerManagement, fakesmc), and then after installing add those kexts to the newly-installed system before being able to boot it.
