Is iOS 17 bringing side loading apps feature?

The release of Apple's upcoming mobile OS update is rapidly approaching. According to reports, the Cupertino-based Corporation is allegedly paying less attention to iOS 17 in favor of its planned MR headgear.

The feature list for iOS 17 is probably going to be much shorter than the one for iOS 16, which includes significant functionality and design upgrades.

A per sources, there are some features the OS update is expected to bring.

Expected features

A Bloomberg report guaranteed that Apple representatives are dealing with changes to iOS that would open the working framework to applications outside the Application Store.

As a response to EU regulations, the business plans to act by 2024. However, with the release of iOS 17, changes may occur. Developers will be able to avoid paying Apple 15% to 30% of fees if the changes are implemented.

However, Apple could keep its current policy in all other regions and restrict the changes to the EU only.

Apple permits third-party browsers, but there is a significant restriction. The company insists that Safari's rendering engine, WebKit, be used by all browsers.

Apple’s Mixed-reality Headset

In the meantime, it is anticipated that Apple will finally release its long-rumored mixed-reality headset this year. It has been predicted that the device will function independently and will also have its own App Store. However, given that Apple is renowned for its ecosystem, in which devices interact with one another in a variety of ways, it is not unreasonable to anticipate that the iPhone and the headset will have some degree of integration. iOS 17 may include headset-specific features. Additionally, updates to iPhones typically last five years. Going by this, we anticipate that iOS 17 should be accessible on iPhone XS and up.
