Apple said on March 12 its users in the EU will be able to download apps directly from websites, bypassing app marketplaces, as it yields to a sweeping new law and pressure from developers.

Apple and five other global tech giants – Google's Alphabet, Amazon, TikTok's ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft – have been obliged to obey the EU's landmark Digital Markets Act (DMA) since March 7.
