The European Union has officially allowed iOS users to download apps from third-party app stores, a significant shift from Apple's previous App Store exclusivity. This development introduces the first third-party app store in the EU, providing a new platform for alternative and potentially niche applications. Enthusiasts and power users are expected to find this change particularly beneficial, as it opens up new possibilities for software that may not have fit into the traditional App Store ecosystem.
