Apple is gearing up to release iOS 17. But according to renowned analyst Mark Gurman, the company will “have to” introduce some innovations. Although Apple is not satisfied, there are changes in the App Store due to competition due to the law. In addition, these innovations will bring many problems about the security of iPhones. So, what do we expect for the App Store in the iOS 17 update? What steps will Apple take on security? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
The iOS 17 update will have big changes for the App Store
The European Union passed the Digital Services Act last year. According to this law, large technological companies are forced to compete more while at the same time compelling them to facilitate the user experience. However, it will also pose a great risk in terms of security, as they have to open their stores or services due to this law.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple will allow third-party app stores. App Store developers and engineers are working to unlock key components of the platforms. Allowing third-party apps, Apple will offer iOS and iPadOS users the option to download apps from their own devices and through the App Store.
Apple’s iOS 16.3.1 update has been revised!
Apple has recently delayed adding the vulnerability (CVE-2023-23524) to its iOS 16.3.1 security patch notes.
However, this can lead to serious security problems in a sense. Because the company has a very strict attitude in its policies on security and focuses on this issue. On the other hand, the company may take new steps to keep the security issue in hand.
In fact, Apple may make certain security steps mandatory for all its devices. One of the steps Apple will take in terms of security will be about verification. It will force users to verify to get permission from Apple even if they have downloaded apps outside of the App Store.
