A Brazilian court has ordered Apple to allow sideloading on iOS devices within 90 days. This follows similar rulings in other countries, which Apple has complied with, though they intend to appeal this latest decision. Sideloading allows users to install apps directly onto their iPhones, bypassing the App Store, a feature long available to Android users via APKs.
Apple’s staunch opposition to sideloading, stemming from its focus on user privacy, has been a key battleground for years, particularly since Epic Games’ lawsuit in 2018. This lawsuit highlighted concerns about Apple’s control over its ecosystem. Apple’s privacy arguments, including its 2022 App Tracking Transparency (ATT) changes, have faced regulatory scrutiny, particularly given Apple’s own exemption from some of these regulations.
Despite its privacy concerns, Apple appears to be losing its battle against sideloading and the push for greater app store openness. Similar rulings in Vietnam and the broader European Union indicate a global shift away from Apple's tightly controlled ecosystem.
