CALIFORNIA (CONVERSEER) – Apple, on Monday, pushed the iOS/iPadOS 18.6 Developer Preview Beta 3 update (internal version number: 22G5073b) to iPhone and iPad users. This update was 14 days away from the last Beta/RC release.
According to previous reports, the iOS/iPadOS 18.6 update will bring two practical improvements for users in the EU, making it easier to install apps from the Internet and third-party markets.
Although Apple’s current iOS version in the EU supports the above two behaviours, it will insert some warning screens, which has attracted the attention of EU regulators. Along with the new App Store regulations, Apple has also reduced these “threatening” contents.
