The Digital Markets Act (DMA) in Europe is forcing Apple to make some changes to the iPhone and some will be implemented this year. For example, iOS 17 will give iPhone users the ability to sideload apps. That means that apps can be installed from third-party app storefronts even though Apple won’t be able to guarantee the security of these apps. However, this feature, according to a report earlier this year from Bloomberg, will be limited to the 27 EU member countries. Android users already have the ability to sideload apps.
