Or will Apple do business? Apple plans to allow third-party app stores

I believe you have seen a series of "targeted" requirements of the European Union for Apple recently. For example, the European Union has issued a clear and unified policy for the charging interface, and there are other series of policies. But if Apple is so easy to accept, it is not Apple. According to the latest news, in response to the new EU law, Apple plans to allow the use of third-party app stores. Let's have a look at the latest news.

In response to the new EU bill, Apple plans to allow the use of third-party app stores

On December 14, it was reported that Apple was preparing to allow third-party app stores on iPhones and iPads to bypass the App Store to install certain programs in response to the upcoming EU digital market law.

However, it is uncertain whether Apple will allow a payment system to replace Apple Pay. It is expected that this change may occur on iOS 17 next year.

In addition, a new EU regulation on unified charging interface has put Apple in the forefront of the storm.

Apple has always been an opponent of the unified charging interface. By charging MFi authorization and certification fees, the annual profit may exceed 10 billion yuan. This new EU regulation will force Apple to give up the Lighting interface and adopt a more general USB Type-C interface, which will deprive Apple of the source of high licensing profits.

A series of policies of the European Union and a series of "self-help behaviors" of Apple can be said to make the iPhone 15 next year highly anticipated. With the support of various policies, how will the iPhone 15 meet with you? It can be predicted that not only the appearance, but also the operation details will change.
