The Sideloading Option Nobody Wants

2 main points from my meeting w/ @tim_cook @apple ⬇️ 👉 compliance w/ #DMA, e.g. @Apple’s obligation to allow the distribution of #apps outside the @AppStore 👉 ongoing @EU_Competition cases e.g. @AppleMusic As an iPhone user, I don’t want the option to sideload apps. That’s exactly why I chose not to be an Android user. I prefer my phone to be safe. It would be insightful to conduct a poll to see how few people in the iOS world demand this feature. @tim_cook @vestager @Apple

Margrethe Vestager and Tim Cook shake hands outside while a tweet discusses Apple’s obligation under the Digital Markets Act to allow app distribution outside the App Store. A sarcastic reply from an iPhone user says they do not want sideloading because they chose iOS for safety, mocking the idea that users demand the feature.
