Apple EU Changes: Sideloading, Third-Party App Stores Are Future of the iPhone

Apple’s European Union revamp of the App Store and iOS gave us a glimpse at a less hostile and more open future for the iPhone — even if it’s an outcome the company never really wanted. Also: Apple scales back its future electric car; Samsung considers developing a noninvasive blood sugar monitor; and new iPad and MacBook Air models get closer to release.

I was wondering if the iPad Air (not getting the M2 yet) was just a reset of expectations, and going forward the iPad Air would stick with one generation older M* chips to enhance Apple’s iPad Pro product segmentation…

It’ll be surprising to me if the iPad Air actually gets the M3 this year, but cool. Maybe just a slower product release cadence is enough of a differentiation.

@markgurman what about the Mac Mini with M3?
