Code found in the iOS 17.2 beta suggests that Apple may allow sideloading, potentially limited to the EU. This move is in compliance with European regulations, allowing users in the EU to download apps from sources outside of Apple's official App Store. The change is expected to take place in the first half of 2024. This comes as Apple is exploring AI features for the iPhone, including the potential implementation of Apple GPT AI. The move to allow sideloading and third-party app stores is seen as a response to the pressure on Apple to comply with regulations and reduce the 15%-30% fees charged to developers.
