side loading has always been available on apple Iphones, it’s just been locked exclusively down to their developer program for debugging and testing purposes and said installed apps are only valid for a limited amount of time. I expect it will use the same framework that the dev program uses, just not as restricted. That being said i can forsee them region locking it.
Yup! Sideloading is legally required to be available by the EU Digital Markets Act by March 2024. Both Apple and Android must comply!

Does apple comply? Just asking as I do not have an iphone and was under the impression its not possible.

It is rumored that Apple will allow sideloading in the EU in the next big iOS update.
