    You being paid by apple to fear monger about sideloading?

    If you fear this, just leave the sideloading to others.

      Wherever I ever see a comment complaining about sideloading, I just assume they’re an Apple financed marketing shill.

      Even if they’re just a brainwashed moron, the argument is so stupid they deserve nothing but ridicule.

        My biggest issue is cancelling recurring services. The Apple model requires that all your subscriptions appear on a pane of glass that you can notice if you signed up for a free trial and it’s been billing you $2.99/month because you wanted to read your kid Dr. Suess books on a flight when you were exhausted. Good luck figuring that out if you only have “$2.99 STRIPE BABELBOX INC” on your credit card bill.

      Um, I said I believed before. I don’t believe it works anymore (walled garden). And that the government apps already doing this in the walled garden. Even said power to sideloading….

      And I get downvoted to oblivion?

            Wanting privacy is OK, and your link to the video on the face ID of the bank also helped explain what you where talking about.

            It’s the way you wrote it that came across if you where some conspiracy nutcase and that causes downvotes.

            Many people share concerns about the use and storage of PII by for profit companies and governments without any oversight on what actually happens with the data. It is good that waryness on who you provide what data to is Becoming more mainstream. I remember years ago people would look at me funny if I replied “no thank you” when asked my zip code in a store. Now a lot more people do it.
