A gentle reminder that “sideloading” is optional and probably won’t be easy to activate, so your mom is safe.

Scammers could already find a way in by using certificates or something like that.

This is way harder and much more complicated than you're implying. You basically need a targeted campaign against you and you'd have to be the only target for a period of time.

I hope the UK could benefit from this too.

Any chance we get a proper version of Firefox with actual extensions

If more people switch from Android to iOS by buying an 1300€ device, how many missed 30% cuts of 1€ Apps are compensated?

I say, Apple wins in the end.

So fun politics question. Will this work for UK users or do I have another reason to hate my family?

Question to everyone: Are there any particular apps/programs, you would want to sideload?

I really hope they think the UK is in the EU and give us the same thing. Something tells me it won’t since we were conned into leaving the EU

…how would that ever happen? The UK’s been out for almost 3 years, they know.

And a huge warning every time you open an app where you to agree to a security threat message.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

I will move to the EU just for this.
