I like how you call users dumb for choosing Apple and clever for wanting to sideload. Or how else do you claim there is two sides here? Pretending that Apple is protecting consumers is silly, they have repeatedly said internally the lock is for revenue alone. No claim of security protection has lasted past "wouldn't sideloaded apps be sandboxed the same as App Store apps and thus have the same security overall"? (Apple failed to counter that point)

>I like how you call users dumb for choosing Apple and clever for wanting to sideload. That's clearly not what is written, don't invent a false narrative with your lack of comprehension skills. Also going to need a citation for this beauty: >"they [apple] have repeatedly said internally the lock is for revenue alone" But judging from your reading skills earlier, I don't have confidence in it being forthcoming.

  Poking fun at the bad phrase. There was no dumb in that choice. The reality is the author dismissed Apple supporting side loading as fundamentally impossible in a thread talking about how Apple should offer more choices. Calling users dumb for wanting side loading on Apple is ridiculous on its face. Users didn't choose Apple to side load they might have sacrificed side loading to get Apple but calling them dumb for making a choice is ridiculous. Apple makes $86 billion from the App Store a year. That is a quarter of their revenue from iPhone sales. No shot a 25% increase in revenue with phenomenally higher margins isn't of extreme importance to Apple.

    This guy is a dangerous zealot. He attacked your "reading comprehension" because he doesn't have any real argument that is not about protecting their trillion dollars master no matter what. It's a bit unreal seeing people like him exist everywhere.

It sounds like the poster means that people who buy one or the other are choosing between either "(nearly) absolute" security or freedom in being able to install software without the manufacturer's consent.

  Certainly but there is no dumb option it is a trade off. They got in their head that users were stupid for choosing Apple when they wanted side loading but that isn't stupid in the context of "should Apple allow sideloading".
