Brazil goes the Europe way, gives Apple 90 days deadline to …

A Brazilian federal judge has ordered Apple to allow third-party app stores and sideloading on iOS devices in Brazil within 90 days or face daily fines exceeding $40,000, according to multiple reports. Judge Pablo Zuniga of the Federal Regional Court overturned a previous ruling and reinstated an injunction from Brazil’s antitrust authority, CADE. The Administrative Council for Economic Defense or CADE is an independent agency reporting to Brazil’s Ministry of Justice.

Valor International reports that Zuniga justified the decision by noting that “Apple has already complied with similar obligations in other countries without demonstrating significant impact or irreparable harm to its economic model.”
