I predict that this will probably be irrelevant to the majority of users. There’s no way apple makes side loading easy enough for anyone outside of HN to use.

- realusername 3y agoThat's going to end up the same way as Android if I have to guess yeah, as complicated as it gets for a normal user to activate so that nobody uses this outside of tech workers. Then they can just say that it's technically "there" for the courts.
- isthiseasymode 3y agoHot take: that’s how it should be. After fixing laptops for less technical people, I don’t think the average person can be trusted to protect themselves against malware.
- realusername 3y agoI don't agree there's any links between an appstore and malware. Sandboxing and app distribution are two concept which might or might not be linked depending on the implementation. For example, if somebody implemented an appstore for WindowsXP which had zero software protection, the appstore would have been a significant vector of distributing malware as well.
