I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

You could, in the EU. But as the EU is only a small portion of the market (Apple did not succeed as much with brainwashing here), Mozilla said it would be too costly to literally recreate FF from scratch for iOS, only for the EU market.

Is there something I’m missing? I have Firefox on my iPhone, I live in India. Is it not “proper” Firefox or is Firefox now available in US App Store?

All browsers on iOS are basically reskinned versions of Safari since they all have to use WebKit
