iPhone: everything that will change with the next update

2024-01-23 21:30:10

The next iOS 17.4 update should integrate slideloading. This is clearly an update awaited by many users.

While the iOS 17.3 update has just been released, the Cupertino company is already working on the new version of iOS 17. It is preparing to introduce a highly anticipated feature in its next iOS 17.4: sideloading. This option aims to comply with the European law on digital markets (DMA).

This significant development will allow users in the European Union, including France, Belgium, Italy, and many others, to install applications without going through the App Store.

Yes, but…

Despite Apple’s fierce opposition in the past, European regulatory pressures have pushed the company to compromise. Tim Cook warned that sideloading would compromise iPhone security. But, in the end, the Cupertino company seems ready to take up the challenge. However, limitations for third-party stores are to be expected.

In addition to sideloading, Apple has promised to open access to the iPhone’s NFC chip to payment applications, thereby increasing competition for Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. The iMessage and Safari services also face regulatory challenges due to their supposed monopoly.

As for the expected release date, Apple has not yet communicated. However, the first beta version of iOS 17.4 is expected to be released soon. But immediate inclusion of sideloading is not guaranteed. You may have to be patient.
