That’s factually false. You can side load apps, plenty of enterprises do it.

  last i looked that requires a couple hundred dollar per year special developer account from apple, with special checks to make sure you're actually a business doing it for business reasons. and they still sign your apps, they just do it automatically, i think.

    So? You can still side load. Developers do it all the time. The approval process is only for distributing your private app to hundreds of people using Apple’s servers and hardware.

      look, buddy, i'm with you on the monopoly issue, but this whole side loading thing is bullshit. i don't think these mechanisms work the way you think they do, and they're certainly not reasonable for even expert users to keep an app up to date on their device. it just isn't legally relevant.

        Having side loaded apps personally, I'm not really sure why you're so pissed off.
