I don't think Apple will diminish their control on the App Store requirement, it's too much of a selling point to them. In fact I hope they keep their requirements the same, and I'm quite happy to see sideloading becoming a thing. More choice is nice.
I'd be so happy to see F-Droid venturing on the iOS side, and distribute open-source apps you can trust that would otherwise not be available on the App Store (emulators, third-party YouTube clients, an actual Mozilla Firefox browser using its own rendering engine, etc).
- Loic 4y agoThe only reason I am using an Android phone and not an iOS one is because of F-Droid to install the open-source app I like and need. I would definitely switch to iOS if I could have this freedom there. I hate that with Android I trust that Google will at some point succeed with a dark pattern in letting me agree to siphon my data without my real agreement.
- jclardy 4y agoTBH I'm hoping Apple will use this to actually improve the app store's position and security, get rid of all the garbage spam apps, fake clone games and whatnot. But I doubt they will, given they make a ton of money off the scam subscription apps.
