    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?
