I’ve had iPhones for 15 years now. I’ve wanted side loading the entire time. It’ll be nice if I can do that without jailbreaking, but I won’t be holding my breath.
This is probably the main reason why I don't use an iphone. I was surprised I had to jailbreak for such a simple functionality when I first got my iphone 4. That was my first and last iphone.
Where were you when I was arguing with some dude on Reddit about how people "buy iPhones specifically because they can't sideload" 🙃
Like no, there are lots of genuinely good reasons to buy an iPhone... This is not one
Thank you Tim Apple for freeing me from choice just because the same people that send gift cards to the “IRS” would likely install 85 safari toolbars if sideloading was enabled.
You can already sideload by using AltStore. There is some drawbacks but it’s worth it
Why not just get an Android phone instead of encouraging the company that doesn't want you to do what you want?
I’ve used Android devices before and just didn’t like them as much.
