Epic vs. Apple AU:Court Orders Alt App Stores,Sideloading and 3rd Party Payments

A court in Australia has ordered Epic Games and Apple to allow alternative app stores and third-party payment systems on iOS devices. This decision was made in response to a lawsuit filed by Epic Games against Apple, which alleged that the company's App Store policies were anti-competitive. The court also ruled that Apple must allow developers to sideload apps, bypassing the App Store entirely. This decision is significant for the tech industry, as it challenges Apple's control over the iOS ecosystem and could potentially open the door for more competition in the app market.
