Apple (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/apple) will make some of the most fundamental changes to the way the iPhone and its apps work since it was launched, it has announced.
The company will allow users to download apps from other sources for the first time, it said, as well as letting developers offer new ways to pay for goods inside those apps. It represents a profound change in the control that Apple exerts over iOS,
the operating system that powers the iPhone.

The new changes mean, for example, that another company can offer their own rival market for apps. Those apps might include content that Apple would otherwise ban, such as PORNOGRAPHY .

In effect, the changes mean that iPhone users can download a rival app marketplace that gives them access to otherwise unavailable apps, and pay for services inside them using payment systems not controlled by Apple, for the first ever time.

Good news.

yeah, that was one of the biggest issues with the iphone. One time that the EU has actually been useful

However .....


The changes will come to users in the 27 EU countries – but not the UK – when iOS 17.4 is released fully in March.

So people in the UK can't watch Don't Talk To Strangers or Isekai Yarisaa on their iPhone?

That's a shame.
