On iPhone sideloading: it’s ok, I’m changing my mind
Honestly, speaking as someone who&#x27;s pretty heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, I&#x27;d like iOS to (be made to?) allow sideloading in order to keep Apple honest.<p>Assuming it works out the same as on Android, I very much doubt that sideloading would ever be mainstream or popular, but the <i>existence</i> of the option would serve as a constraint on how user&#x2F;developer-hostile Apple can be.<p>(And I entirely agree with the article that Apple eliding over the entire internet-sales era of software is highly disingenuous...)
