Brazil Forces Apple to Allow iPhone Sideloading; Epic Games' 'Fortnite' Returns
Brazil has successfully pressured Apple to permit iPhone sideloading, expanding the feature beyond the European Union. This change comes as Epic Games announces the return of 'Fortnite' to iOS, following a court victory by Brazil's CADE against Apple regarding anti-competitive practices. The mandate will take effect in July, allowing users to sideload the game. Epic Games previously faced a ban in 2020 for violating App Store policies. The decision is seen as a significant development in the ongoing battle over app distribution and competition in the tech industry.
