Apple to Enable App Sideloading in EU

In compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple plans to split the App Store into two versions and allow third-party app stores and payment systems.

Apple is reportedly preparing to allow iPhone users in the European Union (EU) to sideload apps, in compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The company is expected to split the App Store into two versions: one for EU countries and another for the rest of the world.
Developers will be able to offer third-party app stores and alternative payment systems for apps and in-app purchases.
Apple has until March 7 to comply with the DMA, but the changes are expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
The changes are currently expected to apply only to the EU, but other countries like Japan and the US are considering similar legislation.
