After months of legal battles, changes to the App Store iPhone have started in Europe. In recent days, we have seen how several emulators have arrived on iOS. Now, as expected, The first third-party store is now available for download on all iPhones in the old continent region.
This is AltStore PAL. Although the store is not new, since it officially debuted in 2019, it is the first time that users can access it without hacking the iOS system. Likewise, don't expect an experience similar to the App Store, since you need to pay an annual subscription of €1.50 euros. While you can expect everything that makes up a platform of this type, there are two applications that immediately stand out.
The first of these is Delta, an emulator that allows you to play various Nintendo consoles. Let's remember that this has been a topic of discussion in recent days, and having a striking emulator is surely an incentive for more than one person. Along with this, in AltStore we also find Clips, a manager banned in the App Store.
While this may be more than enough for users, perhaps developers will have more problems adapting to this store. To start, Payments are integrated with Patreon and offer bonuses for developers who want to distribute beta apps as a reward for membership. However, their service is centralized, and store owners expect each developer to host their app on their own servers.
Everything seems to indicate that AltStore has its positive and negative points, and we just have to wait to see how the public will react to this new option. On related topics, you can learn more about Nintendo emulators on iPhone here.
Author's Note:
It's good to see that more options are now available for all iOS users. Although the quality of what these alternatives offer us is still in doubt, it is positive to see that the options are already here. We can only wait for the rest of the world to have access to services like AltStore.
