Tech News Desk – If you are an iPhone user, this may be big news for you. The report claims that Apple could release the iOS 17 update soon as the focus is on the upcoming MR headset. Many users are eagerly waiting for the iOS 17 update. According to a new report, iOS 17 could well make it possible to sideload apps on the iPhone, i.e. install them from third-party websites, which could be a shocking move by Apple. Let us tell you what this new feature is and how it will work.
Now you can install third party apps
Keeping security and privacy in mind, Apple has not yet allowed sideloading on iPhone to avoid malware. Apple said in a report: “Some people have suggested that we should create ways for developers to distribute their apps outside of the App Store through websites or third-party app stores, known as ‘sideloading’.” Apple further stated that allowing sideloading would decrease the security of the iOS platform and expose users to serious security risks not only in third-party app stores but also in the app store itself.”
Will it be possible to download third-party apps on iPhone?
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is also preparing to allow alternative app stores on its iPhone and iPad. The report goes on to say that as part of the changes, people will be able to download third-party software onto their iPhones and iPads without having to use the company’s app store.
Release date ios 17
Such reports claim that the company will launch iOS 17 in June 2023. Apple is expected to release iOS 17 as well as iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10 and tvOS 17 at its annual WWDC developer conference. Here are more updates iOS 17 can bring to your iPhone.
1. Next-gen CarPlay
Apple previewed the next generation of CarPlay at WWDC 2022, which will support multiple displays, widgets, and vehicle features like the instrument cluster, climate control, and FM radio. As MacRumors reports, Apple said the first vehicles with support for the next-gen CarPlay experience will be announced in late 2023.
2. Headset support
Apple may also announce an AR/VR headset this year, and iOS 17 will likely include support for the devices before launch.
Devices supported by iOS 17
Although there is no official information on the list of iPhone models supporting iOS 17, it is said that iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X will not receive iOS 17 update. At the same time, users of iPhone models released after 2017 will enjoy this new update.
