EPIC says it has evidence that Apple was frightening users from third -party application stores

The EPIC Games has witnessed a rise in downloads since European Union Digital Markets Law (DMA) has pushed Apple to simplify its process to install the third -party applications markets, according to a new blog published by EPIC. The statistics shared by the gaming program giant on Wednesday show that the rate of decline for the installation of the Epic Games store on iOS has increased from 65 percent to about 25 percent after the release iOS 18.6 In July.

The updated “User Experience” was presented to install the alternative application markets in iOS 18.6 yet The European Union Committee raises concerns in April “Apple makes it very stressful and confused for the final users to install applications when using these alternative application distribution channels.”

“They reduced the installation flow from 15 steps to 6 steps, eliminating the previous fear screen and its misleading message, and they spent a dead end left the user who cut off the IOS settings,” said Epic. “For the first time, we started seeing iOS users installing the Epic Games store with a success rate approaching Windows users and Apple Mac users.”

EPIC says there are still improvements that must be made, claiming that the Apple anti -competition behavior towards third -party application stores still violates DMA, and pushes developers to distribute fewer games through the epic gaming store to iOS compared to Android. He also called the epic The 12 -step installation process from Google On Android, saying, “The deceptive user interface to store the Epic Games Store attempts on Android” more than 50 percent of the time.
