Apple is largely expected to allow apps to be sideloaded onto iPhones in the European Union soon in an attempt to comply with the region's Digital Markets Act but when it does, it might not have the effect that lawmakers and developers had been hoping for. That's according to a new report that suggests that the company intends to continue to collect fees from those who choose not to distribute their apps in the App Store.
As if that wasn't enough of a disappointment for those involved, the report also claims that apps sideloaded onto an iPhone will still be reviewed by the company despite not being in its App Store. The ability for iPhone owners to install apps that were not put through App Store review is a key part of what developers have been asking for for years now, but it appears Apple isn't ready to allow that just yet.
