Sideloading changed everything and nothing about my iPhone
Macworld When Apple first announced that it would allow third-party app marketplaces on the iPhone, it felt like a major turning point. For years, the App Store had been the only place where iPhone users could download apps, and regulators around the world had been pushing Apple to loosen its grip on software distribution. It was easy to imagine a future where people would browse multiple app stores, developers would offer exclusive deals, and Apple’s App Store would suddenly face real competition. Now that I’ve actually been living with alternative app marketplaces on my iPhone for the past few weeks, I can confidently say nothing has really changed. It’s not that alternative app stores don’t work. They do. But once the novelty wears off, I found myself going right back to the App Store. From the App Store to app marketplaces For nearly two decades, the App Store was the only official way to install apps on an iPhone. That began to change in 2024, when Apple introduced support for third-party app marketplaces in the European Union to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), legislation designed to increase competition among major tech platforms. Rather than allowing unrestricted sideloading, Apple created a system of “app marketplaces.” These are alternative app stores developed by third parties, each capable of distributing apps that sidestep Apple’s App Store. Developers can also choose to distribute apps directly from their own websites in supported regions. Apple still maintains some oversight through a process called notarization, which scans apps for malware and basic security issues before they can run on iOS. However, developers using these alternative distribution methods are no longer required to use Apple’s App Store or its in-app payment system. Alternative app stores are available in the EU and other regions around the world, but not in the U.S.Foundry Until recently, these changes were mostly limited to the European Union. Following regulatory pressure from Brazil’s competition authority (CADE), Apple expanded support for app marketplaces to Brazilian iPhone users this year. Japan is also on the list of regions where app marketplaces are available for iPhone users. Installing another app store is easy, but there are a few hassles Apple’s implementation is much less dramatic than the term “sideloading” might suggest. Installing an alternative app store is relatively easy, but it’s still not a fully seamless process. Users can’t simply download apps from anywhere on the web. Instead, they first have to install an approved marketplace, which then becomes another source for downloading apps. The installation process also requires a few extra steps beyond what you might expect. Installing third-party app stores isn’t complicated but it’s harder than just opening the App Store.Foundry Before installing a new marketplace, you must explicitly authorize the download in the Settings app. (This process is no longer required in the EU due to local legislation, but it’s still required in Brazil and Japan.) Once the store installs on your iPhone, it behaves much like any other app. For those who are already familiar with advanced settings on iOS, this process is quite simple. But for others, the fact that it requires an extra confirmation step is enough to make them think twice before installing an alternative app marketplace. What’s so great about alternative app marketplaces? One of the biggest complaints about Apple’s App Store is how strict it is when it comes to its guidelines, putting a lot of restrictions on what developers can do. And since the App Store was the only way to distribute iPhone apps, there wasn’t any other official way to distribute apps that don’t follow Apple’s rules. For example, the App Store banned emulator apps for years. And although Apple now allows them, there are other categories that are still off-limits, including violent games, adult-themed content, and torrent clients. In theory, alternative app marketplaces solve this problem and let these apps in. Apps downloaded outside the App Store often offer beter discounts deals on in-app purchases.Foundry Alternative app marketplaces also make it easier for developers to adopt their own business models, rather than relying on the App Store’s in-app purchase system. That was the reason Fortnite left the App Store years ago, and the impetus for many of the rules in place. As such, Epic now has its own marketplace available on iOS. For my testing, I primarily used AltStore PAL and Aptoide, two of the best-known alternative marketplaces currently available. To be honest, there aren’t many other options besides these. AltStore is probably the most popular app marketplace for iOS, since it already existed on jailbroken devices before all these changes. It was created by Riley Testut, the developer behind the well-known Delta game emulator. In addition to Testut’s own apps, AltStore also offers some apps from third-party developers. There are streaming apps, torrent clients, and a few dozen other indie apps like a clipboard manager that you won’t find in the App Store. Fortnite and other titles from Epic are also available on AltStore, so gamers have a great reason to like alternative app marketplaces. Apps downloaded through third-party stores have fewer restrictions than Apple’s App Store.Foundry Apptoide focuses more on games. Although many of the titles available there can also be found on the App Store, the versions on this alternative app marketplace often offer discounts on in-app purchases. Installing apps from these marketplaces is quite easy and very similar to the App Store. Of course, the entire process of updates and purchases is managed through these stores, so you won’t see any related purchases in the App Store settings. The App Store already has almost everything I need After the initial excitement of trying something new, I realized I had no real reason to keep opening these alternative stores, and ultimately not much has changed in how I use my iPhone. Yes, it’s nice to have the option to download apps that aren’t available on the App Store. But the thing is, the vast majority of the apps I use every day are still available exclusively there, from banking apps to social media and streaming platforms. Even after installing a couple of third-party app marketplaces, I still went back to using the App Store.Foundry When I need a new app, I still automatically head over to the App Store first. Especially since these app marketplaces don’t have that many apps available. The alternative marketplaces simply haven’t given me a compelling reason to change that behavior. Some developers may eventually offer lower prices, exclusive versions, or apps that Apple wouldn’t normally allow in the App Store. Those could become legitimate reasons to use them. But today, those examples are relatively niche. For the average iPhone user, the App Store remains the easiest and most complete place to find software. The more I’ve talked to friends and family about alternative app marketplaces, the more I’ve realized I’m probably not alone. Many didn’t even know the feature existed. Others had heard about it but had no interest in trying it. A few asked what they were actually supposed to gain from installing another app store. Third-party app marketplaces are fun to browse, but ultimately, the App Store is a better experience.Foundry It’s less of a change than you think The ability to distribute apps outside the App Store represents one of the biggest platform changes in the iPhone’s history. It creates opportunities for developers to experiment with different business models and could eventually enable entirely new categories of apps and services. Some marketplaces may eventually specialize in gaming, enterprise software, developer tools, or regional content. Others might compete aggressively on pricing or subscriptions. Despite Apple’s claims that these marketplaces could potentially harm its App Store business, the reality appears to be quite different. Right now, alternative app marketplaces are clearly niche, focusing on very specific apps that are sought out only by advanced users. They’re available if you want them, but the App Store will likely remain the first choice for the vast majority of iPhone users for a long time to come.

UK is asking for 'highly intrusive' controls over App Store, says Apple

As the regulator's open consultation with interested parties concludes, Reuters reports how Apple has formally objected to the proposals."Under the [proposals], the CMA would not only regulate Apple's prices, but also restrict the products and services for which Apple can charge a commission," said Apple in its formal filing.

Review: This Asus ProArt 4K display has several features that separate it from the pack [Video]
The Asus ProArt PA27UCGE is a 27-inch 4K display with a few tricks up its sleeve that set it apart from a crowded monitor market. It begins with its high frame rate support, up to 160Hz, which is great for fluid web browsing, gaming, and video editing. It also features an optional monitor hood to help mitigate ambient light, and a built-in motorized colorimeter for scheduled calibration. We previously reviewed Asus’ 5K ProArt (review) and 6K ProArt Displays (review) and found both to be excellent options for Mac users looking for an affordable third-party option. Can we say the same about the ProArt Display, with lots of bells and whistles but lower resolution? Watch our hands-on video review for the details.

HomePod rumors: All we know about HomePod mini 2, HomePod Touch & HomePad hub
Macworld Apple’s HomePod lineup could be about to undergo its biggest expansion since the original HomePod launched. Rather than simply refreshing its existing smart speakers, Apple is reportedly preparing several new smart home devices, including products that blur the line between HomePod, smart display and home hub. The company is said to have three smart home products “very nearly ready to release,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. However, Apple is reportedly delaying their launch until its redesigned AI-powered Siri is ready, with the new assistant expected to debut alongside the OS 27 updates later this year. If those plans stay on track, Apple could unveil its next wave of HomePod and smart home devices shortly after iOS 27 and the upgraded Siri are released this fall. In this guide, we round up all the latest rumours and reports about Apple’s upcoming HomePod products, including expected release dates, new hardware, Apple Intelligence features and pricing. What are the new HomePod products? Apple’s HomePod lineup currently consists of two models, both of which became more expensive following Apple’s June 2026 price increases. The HomePod mini now costs $129, while the 2nd-generation HomePod is priced at $349. But the real story isn’t the current speakers – it’s the next generation of smart home devices Apple is preparing. According to multiple reports, Apple is developing several new HomePod-related products, including updated HomePod and HomePod mini models and a display-equipped smart home hub, widely referred to as the “HomePad.” Rumored new products include the following, the names aren’t confirmed, we are using them as placeholders:
