Aptoide has been serving as an alternative to Google’s Play Store for years. This app store has a long history, and now Aptoide will also be available for iOS. Of course, the store that will compete with Apple’s App Store will only offer applications within the European economic framework.
The move by Aptoide comes after the Digital Markets Act came into force. Of course, Aptoide has decided that its iOS app store will not be open to the general public at launch; Only those users with an invitation will be able to access it.
It is not the first alternative store to Apple’s App Store, a few weeks ago we echoed the launch of the AltStore. The new normal on iOS seems to have focused on having all the options that were not accessible before.
