iPhone users in the European Union now have access to third-party App Store alternatives and can benefit from the perks imposed by the European Commission.
However, despite having the option to replace default iPhone apps and the availability of third-party alternatives, many users prefer to stick with the default apps.
One exception is Google Maps, which can be set as the default navigation app on iPhones, offering a viable alternative to Apple Maps.
Overall, iPhone users in the European Union have the freedom to choose third-party apps, but some still prefer to use the default options, except in the case of navigation.
