Apple explains why getting iPhone apps outside the App Store is a bad idea
Sounds like Android should be your choice.tylersdad said:More ridiculous FUD from Apple. I don't need Apple to provide guard rails. I suppose some do, but there certainly must be a way of providing power users with the ability to sideload apps, while keeping average users within the guard rails.

Apple's head of privacy doubles down on anti-sideloading stance
You’re too naive to think side-loaded apps won’t contain Trojan horses to effectively make that toggle useless or worse.beowulfschmidt said:
While I in no way, shape, or form support forcing Apple to open up to other App Stores, this particular argument doesn't hold much water. Apple could add a switch to iOS that simply disallows purchases or downloads from any App Store but Apple's own. Such an option could be set to "disallow" by default. Flipping that switch off could require authentication, i.e. password, Touch ID, or Face ID.AppleInsider said:"Even users who intend -- they've consciously thought themselves that they are only going to download apps from the App Store -- well, the attackers know this," he says, "so they're going to try to convince that user that they're downloading an app from the App Store even when that's not happening."

Apple's Tim Cook called Nancy Pelosi, others to warn of antitrust legislation pitfalls
Apple should have an App Store page listing its competitors. It should not have to remove its own apps from iPhones. I want a phone that works out of the box and not have to choose which App Store, which photo app, which video chat, which text app, which music app, and which phone dialer to use. -
First Google Store takes an opposite approach from Apple retail
To enter the store, you must hand over you wallet and have a friendly associate follow you around the store recording everything you do.

Proposed antitrust bills would ban Apple from preinstalling its own iOS apps
Short sighted dum basses.iMessage, FaceTime, etc are features of the iPhone. It’s not like Windows and IE.Some People get the iPhone for those feature.Perhaps instead Apple should provide a page on the App Store that lists apps from direct competitors.
