Side loading may mean the 99% of people who don't care about privacy will have their preferences indulged, and if side loading becomes the norm then all of a sudden you'll find yourself being asked by your e.g. government or major airline to side load their app because they're tired of dealing with Apple's app store rules.
- kaba0 3y agoThat's just baseless fear-mongering -- how many government apps do you have to sideload on Android? Apple doesn't have to make it accessible to grandmas, it can be shoved a few layers deep in settings so that they can never accidentally enable it, so in effect it doesn't cause any problem for that "99% of people", only benefiting the remaining 1%, so everyone can be happy (especially that the percentages are not as extreme, it would benefit much more people)
- dnissley 3y agoPlay store rules are much more relaxed than Apple's app store rules though. Also, not fear mongering, just speculating -- I look forward to this happening actually! Will finally be able to get an iphone and use software that isn't kneecapped by Apple's gatekeeping.
