With his opinion on sideloading, Craig Federighi calms things down for Apple

Sideloading consists of downloading an application without going through the App Store. Apple does not appreciate the maneuver at all, which can potentially pose security problems because the platforms which submit their updates to the Apple firm's online store are also scanned to detect possible viruses. But Europe still wants to force web giants to authorize the installation of clients from third-party sources. And until now, we didn't really know how Apple planned to comply with its future rules. But his CTO has more or less just admitted that sooner or later, it will be necessaryplay the game of regulators.

It was during an interview with John Gruber that Craig Federighi confirmed the information. This makes rather sense, given that Apple has already agreed to submit to laws also in favor offairer competitionparticularly in Japan and the Netherlands. But there are still many months before the new regulation imposed by the European Commission comes into force. It is therefore perhaps not even with the iPhone 15 that sideloading could see the light of day on Cupertino mobiles.

Here is Craig Federighi?

Craig Federighi has been Apple's chief developer for over ten years now. Having passed through the University of Berkeley in California, the engineer had also worked for Steve Jobs atNeXT, between 1996 and 1999. The company was created when the iconic founder of the computer brand was dismissed by its board of directors. He finally returned to the helm in 1997, just before the launch of the very first iMac.

Today, Craig Federighi is present at every Apple keynote and more particularly during theWWDC. Tim Cook's loyal lieutenant is known for his bombastic appearances on these occasions, but the number one successor would rather appear in the person of his COO,Jeff Williams, according to the latest rumors on this subject.

He really knows how to play guitar

Remember: during the Worldwide Developer Conference, Craig Federighi made headlines with an electric guitar solo preceding the announcement of new features for AirPods. It was enough that during the same interview, he was asked for a new demonstration. Good viewing:
