Android already has had this for many years and it is not an issue. We don't need to deal with hypotheticals here, Android has put these things into practice for a long time already, and it's a non issue.
LOL this is not a hypothetical. there are already bad apps in the regular app store. now you have two.
also Android has nothing on the security posture of Apple.
So you admit having a walled garden doesn't protect you from malicious apps, but you still want on to...protect you from malicious apps?
I just want you to envision a moment where the opportunity for two bad things happening is worse than one.
Honestly I really don't get the anger here except that everyone has decided that opening the floodgates is the only way forward.
So then... continue using exclusively Apple's store then?
If you consider Apple to be the gold standard for security, you have just keep going as you are.
I don't see how giving other people the freedom to choose infringes on your security.
No you fool! Don't you see that because Wish exists buying from Best Buy is also a scam?!
Honestly I don't get people like this. Are they trying to protect other people? I've never seen it framed that way, but it's the only reasonable explanation.
I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?
what are you smoking lol
Less than you I guess?
You really need to explain this to me. Assuming apple provides a security benefit, then the same benefit still exist if you do not use the sideloading, except for apps that do not want to get checked by apple.
But you only want apps that are secure also that are checked.
How is the ability to get (maybe) less secure apps a danger to you, given thst you will still use the app store.
