Aptoide has been serving as an alternative to Google’s Play Store for years. This application 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 entry into force of the Digital Markets Law. 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 the Apple App Store, a few weeks ago we reported on the launch of the AltStore. The new normal in iOS seems to have focused on having all the options that were not accessible before.
