    I might just move to whatever Chinese come up with. By 2027 their tech should be clearly superior in every way.

      If there's a cheap Chinese phone that banks/google accept, that might be my second (non-rooted) phone.

    Even without side loading there are several advantages and freedoms that Android has unmatched.

      such as? Curious, because on iOS you can freely install browser extensions (adblockers like uBlock origin lite) from the get go. Still boggles my mind that Chrome does not allow extensions.

        Alternative browser engines, JIT-compilation support (enables apps like Koreader), ability to completely disable animations, etc.

          With sideloading being disabled, it takes a single decision from a Google employee to completely get rid of all browser engines and apps that use JIT.
          • cyberax 1y ago
            It's not feasible, several large projects completely depend on the ffi interface that needs JIT.
        • littlecranky67 1y ago
          Alternate browser engines are now possible in the EU, there is just not much interest in porting to iOS. To me it sounds just bad UX that the first thing you need to do on Chrome to enable Adblock is to switch browser, vs. just installing an extension with the default browser that probably 90%+ of Android users use.
