It is known that the Apple, to App Store does not allow downloading any application with side loading devices iPhone and iPad.


Το App Store includes endless apps and games either for free or for a fee, however users can not install anything they want and Apple CEO, Tim Cook decided to explain why this happens.

Ο Cook reported that the restriction of downloading applications and games in App Store is concerned exclusively with ensuring the safety of users, emphasizing that privacy is one of the key aspects of the company's strategy and then added:

We see it as a basic human right, a fundamental human right to privacy. You can think of a world where privacy is not important, and a world is created where everyone is worried if someone is watching them, and so they start doing less, they start thinking less. No one wants to live in a world where this freedom of expression is restricted

At the same time, Cook noted that Apple supports regulatory control, such as European law GDPR which aims to improve the privacy of users in the European Union and argued that the company will proceed with additional regulations related to privacy.

Finally, the CEO of Apple compared it iPhone to Android, where possible side loading, explaining that there is more chance of malware in its operating system Google than in iOS.

Android has 47 times more malware than iOS. This is because we have designed iOS in such a way that there is an app store and all apps are checked before going to the store. This way many malicious programs are avoided by our ecosystem, and our customers have reported how much they appreciate it.
