"Triangulation" infected dozens of iPhones belonging to employees of Moscow-based Kaspersky

I was just looking for context and was confused.

Looks like there still isn't side-loading coming, but weird alternative stores that still need to pass Apple's approval, which defeats the purpose of alternative stores. I get the security thing, but Apple is being as stubborn as humanly possible.

Well they have one hell of a “good thing” (for them) going. Why mess with it?

Work makes me work enough so the brain dead stupidity of iOS is a welcome thing when I get home. So personally I’m fine with it, and professionally it irks me, but that’s what the bar is for.

The simpleness of iOS is why I use it, so I'm right there with you. I do still think Apple is quite petty, though.

Apple makes bank on their App Store and I'm sure they have plans to expand it. I believe that at some point Apple will merge iOS with MacOS and push everyone onto their App Store. So it makes sense that Apple would make it as painful as possible to avoid side loading on iOS. Shitty move from a shitty company, but I doubt Apple will get away with it for very long.

Good thing for Apple? Sure, but good thing for consumers? Who is this bad for actually? Would you install a third party app store if it meant getting an app that you really wanted? Maybe get a discount by downloading your app from another store? Maybe there's an app that isn't offered in your country and you need to side load it? If you're an Apple iOS enjoyer and you cannot lie but all you other brothers can't deny then you'll be happy to know you can avoid those "risky" apps or sideloading all together. Nothing will likely change for someone like you. For those who want a proper FireFox web browser or maybe they want to finally be able to download an emulator to run Mario Bros then side loading is there for them. Also, think of the developers who are still waiting for approval who can now bypass it all together.

Make good apps then :D

I have paid for a few apps over the years that have vanished, so something was up with them.
