Another brick in Apple’s walled garden has been thoroughly kicked out, as Brazil is the latest country to demand the iOS owner opens up sideloading on its devices. Apple now has 90 days to comply, with the judge in the case pointing out that they were already in compliance with similar rulings in other countries.

Wow, this is huge! Brazil really just kicked down one of the last walls Apple built around its ecosystem. Sideloading could totally change the game for iOS users, especially for gamers who want more freedom to download apps and mods without being restricted to the App Store. It’s about time we got more options instead of being stuck in that walled garden.
I mean, it’s wild that Apple’s already dealing with similar rulings in other countries, yet they’re still trying to fight it. I get that they want to keep their platform secure, but come on, let us have some fun! If they don’t comply, it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Here’s hoping more countries follow Brazil’s lead!
Finally! Brazil stepping up and making Apple let us sideload is a huge win for users. It’s about time we get some freedom on our devices instead of being stuck in Apple’s tight grip. Sideloading opens up so many possibilities for gamers and app developers alike. Imagine being able to install any game or app without going through the App Store’s gatekeeping.
Of course, Apple’s gonna appeal because they love their walled garden, but it feels like the tide is turning. If more countries start pushing for this, we could see a major shift in how we use our devices. Let’s hope they actually comply this time!
