If implemented, this change would mark a departure from Apple’s traditional closed ecosystem, where users are restricted to downloading apps exclusively from the official App Store. How Apple was forced into making this decision Despite its drawbacks, sideloading would empower iPhone users to download apps from external sources and provide iOS developers with an alternative to Apple’s standard 15-30 per cent cut from App Store purchases.
