Cool stuff, this proves it is possible. Let’s require it worldwide.
Side loading on thlse bullshit devices has been a EU thing for years.
That’s where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.
It’s like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it’s the EU they look at.
No no no. Brazil forced Apple to open it’s devices to third party options. Apple folded because it had no choice.
(Of course it could leave Brazil, but then shareholders would sue the execs for basic incompetence or whatever, and win, of course.)

I don’t really want side loading, I just want, as a foreign that frequently goes to Brazil, to be able to install apps from the Brazilian AppStore. I can’t use many apps because they’re not in my AppStore. It seems side loading is a possibility.
So right now, I assume, the store content is based on your apple account country not your geolocation?
I imagine they use this as a way of removing an app from a country that forbids it. But also, I think you, as a dev, pay more if you want your app in all AppStores. As other said, transport app, food delivery and other services are a pain to have if they’re not available in your country’s AppStore.

They neither can’t sold the charger separately of the phone in Brazil
With a fine of ~$27 million, I think they’ll just pretend to be working on it, get the “good guys, complying with legislation and opening up the platform”, not do it (or at least, not in any satisfactory way), and pay the fine, if it gets applied.
Now how generous of them.
