  It's not a rumor, it's reality: https://infrequently.org/2024/01/the-web-is-the-app-store/ https://infrequently.org/2024/01/the-web-is-the-app-store/ > "First, browser engine choice should become a reality on iOS in the EU in 2024, thanks to the plain language of the DMA. Apple will, of course, attempt to delay the entry of competing browsers through as-yet-unknown strategies, but the clock is ticking. Once browsers can enable capable web apps with easier distribution, the logic of the app store loses a bit of its lustre."
