Brazil has ordered Apple to enable sideloading within 90 days or face fines.
On Wednesday, Judge Pablo Zuniga of the Brazilian federal court ordered Apple to allow third-party app marketplaces in the country within the next 90 days. If the company fails to adhere to the court’s order, it could face a fine of more than $40,000 per day.
The judge said the iPhone maker “has already complied with similar obligations in other countries, without demonstrating a significant impact or irreparable damage to its business model.”
