JAKARTA From year to year, Apple users can only download apps from the App Store. When there are iPhone users who try to do sideloading, they will be blocked.

However, this rule will soon be removed according to a Briomberg report some time ago. Specifically in Europe, Apple will allow users to do sideloading apps starting in the first half of next year.

Simply put, Apple users in Europe can download apps outside of the App Store. Users may be able to download from the crowd without doing ajailbreak or damage the iOS defense.

This policy arose because Apple was under pressure from the Digital Market Act (DMA) in the European Union (EU). Apple must comply with this rule because its devices are included in the gatekeeper or core platform service.

There is no other choice for Apple than to obey this rule. If companies try to escape or disobey the rules, they could be fined 20 percent of global revenue.

Previously, Apple had tried to negotiate by expressing their concerns. The tech company said that third-party apps could jeopardize user security and privacy.

Unfortunately, this concern is not accommodated by the EU. Apple should create a controlled system that allows EU users to download apps outside the App Store next year. They also have to change messaging and payment systems to comply with the new rules.
