App Store according to Bloomberg’s industry insider Mark Gurman. Following intervention from the EU — which led to Apple allowing alternative app stores on its devices — a second App Store team will be handling apps from other sources.
“Apple fellow” Phil Schiller, who leads the App Store, will be dividing the current App Store team into two. Furthermore, Matt Fischer — who has been Vice President in charge of the App Store and Apple Arcade — is leaving the company after a very long tenure. Fischerhis departure with a heartfelt trip down memory lane, and welcomed the two people who would be taking over the newly created teams.
It stands to reason that this second team will only be required for the EU, where Apple was forced to allow alternative sources for downloading apps. How precisely this team will manage alternative downloads isn’t known yet. If I had to guess, in addition to ensuring that apps from certain stores are safe, the team might also be in charge of educating users on how to remain safe when downloading these apps.Apple pushed back quite hard against allowing apps from third party sources.
