A while ago, EU law required that starting from the end of 2024, all new portable smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets will use the charging interface of USB Type-Ch. Not long after, , Apple also had to confirm that next year, iPhone 15 will finally use C port, and after the release of the new iPad in October, iPad has also completed the C port unification. All users applauded this result.
EU is not satisfied with this. The latest news shows that the EU has requested to Apple to open more permissions, including third-party app stores, videos and images, allowing more developers to use these permissions to develop their own applications.
It is reported that the EU has issued a warning to Apple in accordance with the Digital Market Law, hoping that it will open third-party application malls, iMessage, FaceTime and other permissions as soon as possible. Among them, opening a third-party app store may be a bottom line for Apple. Like
and iPhone, the Apple App Store has changed the way people obtain software and has also gained huge benefits for developers. However, as time goes by and the changes in market conditions, the voices for the development of iOS systems and their software stores are getting higher and higher.
According to EU requirements, Apple must allow third-party app stores to be used in iOS systems, which means that users can install third-party app stores like App Store and Wandoujia when using iPhone, just like other Android phones. The only way to download and install software is no longer the App Store.
You should know that the main reason why iOS system can maintain high purity is that Apple has strict restrictions on third-party applications. Developers must follow Apple's design logic and maintain certain optimizations. When the application does not meet Apple's standards, it will be removed from the shelves immediately, ensuring security to a certain extent.
It is precisely for this reason that many consumers unswervingly choose iPhone instead of open Android. But in recent times, more and more advertisements in the App Store are also making consumers feel dissatisfied. The reason why Apple can do this is because users have no choice but to do so.
At present, opening up third-party mall permissions will definitely affect Apple's revenue, and it may not be a good thing for users. How to hand over more choices to users and ensure that the user experience is not affected may be the key to the future development direction of iOS system.
