Apple CEO Tim Cook talks about how sideloading on iPhone would break security, Android vs iOS
Apple CEO Tim Cook, during a recent interview at the Viva Tech conference, which is touted as Europe's biggest startup and tech event, talked about several things, right from privacy about which the company has been vocal about, as well as AR, AI, and how iOS is better than Android, of course. During the interview, Cook stressed the privacy bit a lot and defended the Apple ecosystem while explaining how the Digital Markets Act, the European Union's new proposed rules for big tech control, will become antitrust legislation in Europe soon. On sideloading apps on the iPhone, Cook said, "The current Digital Services Act language that is being discussed would force sideloading on the iPhone. As we look at that, that would destroy the security of the iPhone and a lot of the privacy initiatives that we've built into the App Store, where we have privacy nutrition labels and App Tracking Transparency that forces people to get permission to track across apps."
