I wonder if Apple can legally avoid warranties for side loading an app.

It seems like they logically would be able to, since you theoretically could sideload an app that damages your phone. And they have no control over that.

You can't void the warranty (in the EU) with a software installation, only for problems related to that software.

Yeah, no… it doesn’t work that way.

They can't void warranties for people installing third party apps but if that app bricks their device, that wouldn't be covered by warranty.
