With the release of iOS 17, Apple will allow iPhone users to install apps from alternative stores. informs Bloomberg.
It is stated that Apple does not intend to implement many new features in iOS 17, as the fundamental change in the system will bypass the App Store and affect the ability to install applications. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, this is a mandatory step for the company under new European rules that will go into effect next year.
The Digital Markets Act forces Apple to allow third-party app stores to be available on iPhone and iPad. While Apple intends to comply, the company may continue to resist it. This behavior is due to Apple repeatedly calling alternative app stores a security risk for users.
