what's going on YouTube GEOS snid here
0:02
today we're discussing some big news
0:03
coming directly from Apple they're about
0:05
to allow iOS side loading for apps in
0:09
Europe at least and that's quite big
0:11
because that would be the very first
0:12
time Apple allows that but there is a
0:14
lot of nuance to it so we're going to
0:16
discuss about that and we're going to
0:18
discuss why that may not be the best
0:20
news ever and I will try to make it very
0:22
clear why I believe that is this video
0:24
is brought to you by any unlock a
0:25
software that allows you unlock the
0:27
screen passcode bydm and remove SIM lock
0:29
check the program out in the link below
0:31
so a couple of months ago people started
0:33
to learn about the fact that apple is
0:35
indeed planning to allow side loading of
0:37
iOS applications starting with iOS 17
0:40
well iOS 17 came and there was nothing
0:43
in sight about side loing and it's iOS
0:45
17.1 or almost point2 by now and there
0:48
is no such feature not even in Europe
0:51
well it turns out that apple is indeed
0:53
planning to do that for the European
0:55
users in the first half of 2024 that
0:58
would be early next year that in itself
1:01
is actually quite big and as this
1:02
article here on Mac Rumors makes it it's
1:05
actually quite big it's a big event you
1:07
would be able to install iOS
1:09
applications from any sources third
1:11
party app stores would be able to pop
1:13
out out of the blue and you would have
1:14
more choices than getting the
1:16
application from the normal traditional
1:18
App Store and maybe developers can dodge
1:20
Apple's fees and stuff like that well
1:22
that sounds all great on paper Until you
1:24
realize that Apple does this because
1:26
they are forced to do this the European
1:28
Union ruling says that they have to open
1:31
app they have to allow third party app
1:33
stores to exist they have to allow
1:34
applications to be installed from third
1:36
party sources because otherwise Apple
1:38
would be a monopoly and they're not
1:39
allowed to do that at least not in
1:41
Europe many of these websites make it
1:43
look like the best thing since sliced
1:45
bread and it might be for some users you
1:47
might be able to get some great
1:48
advantages from it but what people do
1:50
not realize is that while this is true
1:52
side loading does come to iOS in 2024
1:56
Apple can implement this in the worst
1:58
way possible because they are forced to
2:00
do it they don't do it from the kindness
2:02
of their heart they want to maintain
2:03
their own app store they want to
2:05
maintain it to be the only App Store on
2:07
iOS they can't do that in Europe anymore
2:10
they are forced to actually allow third
2:12
party app stores but they can do this in
2:14
the worst way possible they can actually
2:16
make it that many of the apis are
2:18
blocked for third party app stores
2:20
imagine here for example Apple pay or
2:22
imagine here notifications and yeah they
2:25
are allowed to do that the European
2:27
Union ruling does not actually Force
2:29
Apple to allow any of these apis to work
2:32
for the third party app stores and apps
2:34
and that actually makes sense if you
2:35
think about it notifications that are
2:37
sent from especially social media apps
2:39
and stuff and games those require a
2:41
server Apple usually provides that for
2:44
notifications so applications made with
2:46
xcode and uploaded to the App Store
2:48
normally they actually can use Apple's
2:51
infrastructure for sending notifications
2:53
accepting payments or in a purchases and
2:55
stuff like that apple is not actually
2:57
forced by the European Union to provide
3:00
those services to third party app stores
3:02
or apps so yes after this gets into
3:05
effect you may be able to install third
3:06
party app stores from anywhere you may
3:09
be able to do that just like you do on
3:10
Android but those applications may not
3:12
work with notifications they may not
3:14
support in a purchases at least not
3:16
through Apple's channels they may not
3:18
have Apple pay support apple can even
3:20
implement it in a way that you have to
3:22
reboot the phone into a unprotected mode
3:25
that disables everything else like the
3:27
apps from the App Store and messages and
3:29
stuff like that and only allows you to
3:30
use the third party apps because it's
3:32
unsafe they can do that the European
3:34
Union ruling does not prevent them from
3:36
doing that it just forces them to allow
3:38
third party apps but it doesn't say how
3:41
those apps should be installed or what
3:43
limitations those apps might have and
3:45
yes Apple definitely has the right to
3:47
not provide services like their
3:48
notification server and Apple pay and
3:51
inapp purchases to those apps which
3:52
means those apps can definitely be much
3:55
more limited not to mention the fact
3:57
that you will no longer be protected by
3:58
the App Store so yeah iOS side loing is
4:01
definitely coming that's great news but
4:03
it's only coming in Europe it will very
4:06
likely be very hardly GE offened so you
4:08
will not be able to use it in the US or
4:10
Asia or stuff like that and even where
4:12
it is actually available it might be
4:15
very gimped very watered down so yeah I
4:18
don't know I guess we're going to see
4:20
thank you for watching I am gsnow till
4:21
the next time peace out
