Apple may allow iPhone, iPad users to sideload apps, along with third-party app stores on its devices

Thanks to the EU’s legislation, we may see the fabled ‘Apple Ecosystem’ come to an end, at least on the software side of things. Apple has controlled the iOS ecosystem with a tight fist ever since the concept of iPhones and an App Store from where users could download and install applications has existed. Apple has always maintained that keeping the Apple Ecosystem locked away from other, unverified application is crucial for the Cupertino-based tech giant, to ensure the safety of their customers from malicious app developers. Apple has long maintained that allowing users to sideload apps would undermine iOS’ security and leave users exposed. Apple is also contemplating allowing other application ecosystems onto the platform and may allow app stores other than the official App Store.
