Why can’t this also hold for iOS?
> Now apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed before it’s accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again.
- panny 5y agoBecause you can only get iOS apps through the app store, not "and the internet."
- keleftheriou 5y agoRight, but why can’t this also hold for sideloading on iOS?
- panny 5y agoBecause Apple won't allow you to sideload :) >but why won't Apple allow me to sideload if this is secure enough. My observation is that no one would buy a computer as locked down as iOS, so Apple has been slow walking MacOS into the iOS model, not the other way around. iOS won't become more useful, MacOS will only become less useful over time.
- josephcsible 5y agoBecause 30% is way too lucrative for Apple to ever voluntarily give up.
