> Allowing alternative app stores and browsers is likely to lead to more security issues, more users using tech support resources because a dodgy app downloaded from a 3rd party app store they installed broke their phone in odd ways and will likely increase expenses without increasing revenue.
I commented this already, but I would expect iOS sandboxes apps in such a way that it doesn't have any impact on other parts of the phone even if the app is hacked for example.

- nolist_policy 2y agoWait, are you implying that apps are not sandboxed already on iOS? Big if true.
