Sideloading apps support was something that was not available ever on the iPhone. All the apps you need are obtainable via the App Store, according to the brand. Some say the system is rigid due to the lack of Sideloading apps support. Well, it might get a little bit flexible as Sideloading apps support might be available via iOS 17.
This tip came in from a renowned Apple analyst, Mark Gurman which further boosts the credibility. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, some events might make it a reality. According to sources, the EU’s new Digital Market Act takes effect in 2024 and forces firms to allow customers to install software from alternate sources, thus the change is likely to arrive with iOS 17.
Should Apple comply with the act, that would mean users can get apps from any other source apart from the Apple Store. For reference, Apple’s unwillingness to allow sideloading is motivated by privacy and security concerns. More details about this feature and the iOS 17 will be unveiled at the WWDC conference. Meanwhile, here’s what we know about iOS 17.
Other than sideloading apps support
According to earlier leaks, the main theme of the Apple iOS 17 will be enhanced performance, stability, and efficiency. Also, there will be certain tweaks to Dynamic Island (the pill-shaped cutout that debuted with the iPhone 14). analyst941, the leaker, further mentions that the Apple marketing team had to put a bit of pressure on the software design team to market better aesthetics with the dynamic Island.
According to the same leaks, the Control center and the Spotlight search and Search will not be left untouched with the Apple iOS 17 – also App widgets and Always On display although the App widgets tweak is still under uncertainty. Lastly, he did mention the camera app getting some change. That’s all we know for now, more leaks will be landing (probably) before the WWDC and of course, full details at the WWDC.
