Exciting News for EU Apple Users: iOS and iPadOS 17.4 Updates Coming Soon

In March, iOS and iPadOS 17.4 updates are set to roll out, bringing with them the ability for European Union users to access alternative app stores and sideload apps. This change is a result of the impending EU Digital Markets Act set to come into effect in May.

Here’s why this update is so important for EU-based Apple users:

Making the Most of Your Powerful iPad

– Unlike Android devices, Apple’s mobile devices have been limited to accessing only apps approved by Apple through its app store.
– This has meant that users have missed out on certain apps such as Fortnite and torrenting apps, which are not available through Apple’s app store.
– Additionally, the limitations have hindered users from running virtual machines on their iPads, restricting the full potential of these powerful devices.

Making Your iPhone Truly Yours

– Similarly, the limitations on iPhones have resulted in less customization and restricted access to certain apps such as emulators for retro games.
– With the upcoming iOS 17.4 update, EU users will finally be able to download emulators and other apps from alternative app stores, giving them more freedom and choice.

Empowering Mobile App and Game Developers

– The EU Digital Markets Act will enable more developers to reach a wider audience within the EU, resulting in potentially cheaper mobile games and more software options for consumers.
