By March 5, 2024, Apple must bring iOS into compliance with the requirements of the European Digital Data Act (DMA). This could mean that until the specified date, Apple will only allow you to install apps on the iPhone, not from the App Store. In this respect informs version 9To5Mac.

DMA requires Apple to comply with several requirements. First, the American tech giant should allow developers to embed payment services other than Apple Pay into their apps and games. Second, Apple must ensure that iMessage interacts with other messengers. Third, the company should relinquish the App Store’s monopoly on app installs.

Theoretically, the third paragraph should oblige Apple to allow the installation of non-App Store stores on iOS or to offer other mechanisms for downloading apps. But according to 9To5Mac, there is language in the DMA that could allow Apple to avoid this requirement.

DMA requires you to allow the installation of applications from third-party sources, but at the same time ensures complete security of devices and user data. Applying for this thesis, Apple will try to prove in court that the App Store is the only source of apps that can guarantee the highest level of security to devices and users. 9To5Mac will retain the right not to add alternative app download tools to iOS if Apple wins this lawsuit.
