Knowing Apple they would make it extremely difficult to enable sideloading. Possibly requiring a series of secret taps that is only documented on their website, possibly changes for each phone model or configuration so you have to look up your specific uslnit and calculate how you're supposed to secret tap it.

Honestly that along would be okay with me as it would make it very hard for idiots.
But they will probably do something annoying like constant popup warnings and big warning symbol in the notifications area and on each sideloaded app.

I guess they see the writing on the wall and realize that if they don't then the EU will force them to.

Nice of Apple to finally agree to play along with everyone else. It only took them 7 years longer than literally everyone else in the world.

I mean Apple basically requires fast chargers for their new USB C phones, you're probably right, they're pricks like that

Huh, with USB-C, and now forced sideloading, this could actually end up hurting android.

Wait until Apple finds a way to make their USB-C cable super special.

I think they already tried once or twice and got smacked down.

I wish they brought the magnetic Macbook chargers to phones because those were actually good.

The term "sideloading" has the same implications as "wrongthink" to begin with. It implies there is only one approved way of getting programs to run which is to be given a blessing by a digital overlord, which has never been the case in the history of computing until Apple came in with their dumbed down normalfag toys.

I hate the Antichrist.
