iOS 17the next operating system of Apple for iPhone devices, it will incorporate one of the most important innovations in the history of Apple technology. According to a recent report from the ‘Bloomberg’ agency, this version will be the first to allow users to download applications from stores other than the App Storethe official brand.

It should be remembered that, unlike what happens with Android, Apple has never allowed ordinary users to download ‘apps’ from any store other than their own. The company has traditionally justified the measure by arguing potential dangers related to cybersecurity. However, it is also true that the App Store is one of its main sources of income thanks to commissions of between 15 and 30% that it charges developers for each payment made by Internet users in their applications.

At the moment, the information is not official, although its author, Mark Gurman, is one of the best-informed ‘insiders’ regarding the apple company. Be that as it may, this is not the first time that ‘Bloomberg’ has announced that the company is working to open up its devices to the sideloading of applications. At the end of last year he already shared that the change could take place between 2023 and 2024.

Then, it was pointed out that the opening of the iPhone would be limited to the European Union, since it would be motivated by the Digital Markets Law, which will come into force next May and will be mandatory in 2024. With this regulation, the EU It intends, precisely, to put an end to the alleged monopolies of the big technology companies.

Everything indicates that the change would be announced by Apple on June 5 at the start of its developer event, the WWDC. This is the same event in which the company is expected to announce the upcoming launch of its first mixed reality glasses, with which the technology company, contrary to what it had done so far, will try to start laying the foundations to democratize a product that, to date, has not been able to attract the attention of the majority of users.
