Following the order of the European Union, Apple may soon allow downloading of third party apps in iPhone. We may see this change in the coming few months. However, Apple can definitely put a condition behind this change. Actually, the company can charge more money from developers in exchange for sideloading apps. If developers are burdened with money, they will definitely recover it from common users. That is, in a way you can say that you will have to pay money to run third party apps on iPhone. Note, it is not clear yet whether the developers will do this or not.
This message will be visible before downloading third party app
A new report from the Wall Street Journal says that the Apple App Store plans to collect fees from developers who will offer downloads outside the App Store. Also, while downloading apps from outside, Apple will show a review screen in which it will be told that this app can leak your data because it is made outside the company’s policy. That means, vibration will alert the users through this message.
Will sideloading facility be available in India?
Sideloading facility in iPhone will be provided only in EU because here the company has to follow DMA. Everywhere else, users will be able to download apps only from the Apple Store as before. Let us tell you, Apple has agreed to allow sideloading of users from iOS 17. However, the company has not yet told how it will work. Here, the EU’s Digital Market Act will become effective from March 7. In such a situation, Apple will have to act quickly.
