Apple has announced plans to allow app downloads outside of its proprietary marketplace, starting with a selected group of apps in the European Union (EU). The move represents a new way for developers to distribute apps directly from their websites, with certain criteria needing to be met. While Apple will continue to charge a fee for allowing third-party app downloads and distribution, the decision is seen as significant and could set a precedent for regulations on anti-competition and digital markets globally, including in India. This move follows a recent antitrust appeal against Apple by gaming developer Epic Games.
