Brazil Becomes Third Major Region to Allow Third-Party App Stores on iPhones
By
Gaurav Shukla
Summary
Brazil has become the third major region, after the EU and Japan, where iPhone users can install third-party app stores like AltStore, bypassing Apple's official App Store. This development highlights the ongoing regulatory pressure on Apple's closed ecosystem, particularly in markets outside the United States. While U.S. iPhone users still cannot access alternative app stores, the trend suggests growing global momentum toward opening up Apple's platform.
