If I go to an EU country, will my phone allow me to side load. And if I come back will the app I downloaded still work? Or does the phone have to be bought in a EU country

That sounds amazing but can someone knowledgable explain to me like the dumb girl I am does this mean that I’ll be at higher risk of malware tracking and spamming?

How does sideloading benefit end customer? What are the risks? Why was this not allowed before?
AD 1 - more freedom, more apps available and possibly lower prices for apps.
AD 2 - I don't want to go into that rabbit hole but if you stick to Appstore, nothing changes for you.
AD 3 - less money for Apple

Hopefully I can also run Mac apps on iPad when proper sideloading is enabled.

Soon as you accept the agreement to sideload and endanger the security of the iphone iOS, it’ll also damage the resale market. phones with it enabled may be harder to sell on or upgrade surely?

Really hope this comes to the UK
Why would it? Do you have any legislation that would demand it?
You think you’re being smart but the UK still follows most of the EU laws and regulations as someone said below. One thing about the big “we want to leave the EU” bollocks is that most laws from the EU remained or had their own UK version created lol

Crazy how they got away with it for so many years. The idea that you can pay for an product and still don't own it needs to die

I wish this would happen in the US but my government always sides with companies over people.

This is no way going to be as open as people hope it will be.
it will be just as open as the minimum that the eu stipulates. apple has no incentive to go further

Gurman said Apple will introduce a "highly controlled system" that lets EU users install apps hosted elsewhere.

I’m sure the EU will be completely fine with Apple “highly controlling” the relationship between the user and developer after the DMA anti-trust regulation is in effect. This must be the marketing they’d like to convey to maintain an image of security.
