Apple reportedly told AppleCare customer support staff not to address iPhone sideloading questions outside of the EU - what you need to know.

It's a big week for the European Union's Digital Markets Act legislation. The companies deemed to be tech gatekeepers in the EU, and those who operate gatekeeper services, will have to implement changes by March 7th. For Apple, that means rolling out the iOS 17.4 update to everyone. The iOS 17.4 software release brings support for iPhone sideloading and all that entails.

You won't be able to download any app from any source. And those apps won't be cheaper than the App Store versions. Not significantly cheaper, that is. Setapp is one of the first third-party iOS app stores in the EU. That should tell you everything you need to know about iPhone sideloading in the EU. If you're wondering when Apple will enable the functionality in your markets, you must look at what local legislators are doing. The EU imposed iPhone sideloading. Apple has to comply.
