Microsoft could offer one of the first third-party app stores on iPhones - 9to5Mac (9to5mac.com)

This is how I see it going. Alternative app stores will be available but apps will still need to be reviewed and signed by Apple. The alternative app store will be required to pay Apple for the privilege.

Unsigned side loads will never be permitted on Apple devices.
