iPadOS 18 to Allow Third-Party App Store Downloads
Starting next week, European iPad users can download apps from third-party app stores due to the upcoming launch of iPadOS 18 on September 16. This change enables greater freedom for users and offers alternative options beyond the App Store.
Impact on the App Ecosystem
- Increased Accessibility: Users will have access to a wider range of apps.
- Economic Competition: Developers can reach a larger audience without sole reliance on Apple’s ecosystem.
- Regulatory Compliance: This move aligns with new EU regulations aimed at promoting competition.
As more users turn to third-party sources, the landscape for both users and developers is set for some interesting changes in the app marketplace.
