Briefly

Starting September 16, iPad users in the EU can install third-party app stores on iPads with iPadOS 18, complying with the EU's Digital Markets Act.
Apple’s recent changes, mandated by the European Commission, signify a pivotal shift allowing user access to alternative app marketplaces and third-party browser engines.
The introduction of third-party app marketplaces like Epic Games Store marks a crucial development in how EU users will engage with applications on iPads.
