News & Reviews:   Third-party App Store

Unlike Android users, the only way to get Apple apps is from the official App Store. The good thing about that is there's more app security, but it can be a hassle for apps restricted by region. Fortunately, alternatives could come soon, at least for Europeans.

Previously, we reported on Apple confirming that it will comply with the European Union’s (EU) new law for a unified USB-C charging port. Now, it looks like the EU is not done just yet and may force Apple to do more changes on its mobile devices, including allowing for third-party app stores, app sideloading and iMessage interoperability with non-Apple devices.
