Apple could soon be forced to allow iPhone users in Brazil to download apps from sources outside its official App Store, following a recent court ruling. A Brazilian federal judge has given Apple 90 days to enable sideloading, the process of installing apps from third-party stores, or face daily fines of over $40,000. The case against Apple in Brazil began in 2022 when Mercado Livre, a major Latin American e-commerce company, filed a complaint.
