On the device I happily bought from them, knowing how they operate. There are tons of other high quality devices of the same variety that I can buy and use to run whatever I want. I don't see the problem with this arrangement, nobody is deceived about how this works when they decide to buy Apple's devices, yet they stubbornly insist on buying them.
- grishka 5y agoHow many people who aren't software developers are aware of the iOS app publishing process?
- matheusmoreira 5y ago> knowing how they operate You know how they operate now. It's entirely possible for them to change strategies and start oppressing you out of the blue.
- mullingitover 5y agoLots of things are 'entirely possible,' it's also entirely possible that Apple decide that sideloading is totally fine. It's entirely possible Google will ban sideloading. What's plausible is that the device you purchased will operate in roughly the same way over the lifetime of the device.
