"Apple's New Fees and Restrictions for App Downloads"

In response to a new European law, Apple plans to allow sideloading with restrictions, allowing users to download apps outside the App Store but with Apple reviewing each app, collecting fees from developers, and adding other limits. This move is in anticipation of a new European law intended to limit Apple's control over iPhone apps, with companies like Spotify, Meta, and Microsoft preparing new direct download options. Apple's approach aims to maintain oversight despite the law, but its plans could still change.
