Apple iPhone is one of the most widely used mobile phones in the world, especially in countries like the US, Japan and Australia. Although this mobile phone has a lot of positive features along with the best cameras on the market, it is true that it is a mobile phone with very limited software according to experts like Marcus Brownlee. That’s why iPhones are now like Android in Europe.
If you want to know what this new feature for iPhone is that has pleasantly surprised the users, make sure to read the article that we have prepared for you on this occasion.
Sideloading on the iPhone, it’s real and it’s already coming to Europe.
One of the negative aspects of iOS compared to Android is how limited these devices can be. Mainly the sense of sideloading, i.e. the ability to install third-party apps on your device. This was unthinkable with iOS phones, but now everything has changed for Apple users in Europe.
In an official statement released by Apple, the company announced that the sideloading system has been launched for European Apple users. Undoubtedly a milestone in the history of this company and technology in general. All this is to adapt to the new digital market law approved by Europe.
How does Apple sideloading work?
At the time of this writing, over 600 APIs have already been released to enable this new functionality. The goal is to be able to download apps for iOS devices through alternative stores to the AppStore and alternative payment systems.
For example, Epic Games has already announced that Fortnite will return to iPhones, but from its own store. Similarly, many stores will start being able to download on iPhones with iOS 17.4. It’s not a move Apple wants to take, but they see the need to adapt given the circumstances.
This move is unlikely to spread to the rest of the world as Apple benefits greatly from its closed ecosystem, but only time will tell. For now, that’s all there is to say about iPhones now being Android in Europe. We hope you found this information interesting and before you go tell us in the comments what you think about this new feature on Apple mobile phones.
