Summary

  • Brazilian judge Rafael Olaro has ruled that Apple must make it possible to sideload apps onto iOS devices within 90 days, a measure already in place in the EU due to the Digital Markets Act.
  • The injunction was initially imposed in November last year, but was overturned in December.
  • The ruling states that Apple has complied with similar obligations in other countries and hasn’t demonstrated “significant impact or irreparable harm” to its business model.
  • The case was brought by Brazilian e-commerce giant Mercado Livre.
  • Apple is said to be planning to appeal the ruling.
