A Brazilian court has ordered Apple to allow sideloading on iOS devices within 90 days. This follows similar rulings in other countries, although Apple plans to appeal. Sideloading allows users to install apps directly onto their iPhones, bypassing the App Store, much like installing APKs on Android devices.
Apple's long-standing opposition to sideloading, citing privacy concerns, has been challenged repeatedly. The Epic Games lawsuit, filed over five years ago, brought this issue into sharp focus. Apple's argument centers on user privacy, a key concern also raised regarding third-party app stores. Their 2022 App Tracking Transparency (ATT) changes, while presented as a privacy enhancement, also faced regulatory scrutiny for exempting Apple itself.
Despite its privacy arguments, Apple faces increasing pressure to open its ecosystem. Recent rulings in Vietnam and the broader EU suggest a shift away from Apple's tightly controlled environment. The company's appeals may prove unsuccessful, marking a potential turning point in its approach to app distribution.
