If the iPhone is required to support apps outside of the App Store, that will probably result in a worse user experience for a lot of people. Despite that, I feel that it would be a net benefit to require non-App Store apps on the iPhone. The overall stifling of competition on a locked down ecosystem is worse then the inconvenience of installing a shady app. And it probably wouldn't be that bad anyway. A vast majority of people will still use the official App Store, like they do on Android. But a more open ecosystem will keep Apple honest, and give more power to the end user.
