The problem I see with a setting to allow side-loading means there's a software ability to easily hack iOS. It's not a backdoor, it would be a front door without much of any lock on it. If the ability to side-load an app is included in iOS, it will be used to bypass iOS security and it will succeed. Most consumers don't know how to make any changes to their iOS devices or their PCs. They just want them to work out of the box. I'd guess almost 100% of the people reading AI know, or can figure out, how to make changes to their devices and what those changes do. We're not Apple's primary customers. People do things all the time they aren't supposed to do. That's what almost everything we buy has a safety label on it. Do people read and understand what the consequences of misuse are? I would hope most do. Apple has tried to protect consumers from scams and outright theft of personal information and that comes with forced limitations on usage. Can any of you envision what would happen if Apple is forced to allow a wide open iOS environment? I can, it's called early Android where nobody could really trust anything happening on their phones. 

Once iOS is open to any app, I would quit using it for any banking, medical, purchasing or anything dealing with my personal information. We all know every government has a group working on hacking iOS (and every other operating system) and forcing Apple to provide a key into the front door makes it very simple to force an app onto every iOS device making leaving it open for government monitoring. I'm sure none of us want this but this is what would happen and Apple would have a difficult time stopping it. Asian users (@Gatorguy) already have to fight their governments spying on them. Allowing side-loading makes it even easier. 

Prove me wrong. If Apple is forced to allow side-loading, how will they be able to guarantee every app is safe to use? (They can't do this now.) How will they guarantee privacy on their devices? Who do I sue when I get a message or email or click on a website and malware that never worked before downloads code that unlocks my phone so they can continue to download more malware? It isn't Apple.

Perhaps a actual full screen edge to edge, no notch,  would be great. Oh and also from a usability standpoint point, please stop making iPhones with buttons across from each other!!!!! Anyone who says they have never accidentally screenshot when they were trying to volume up or other is either a liar,  or no clue what a screenshot is. Apple design is actually quite repulsive, putrid, horrible!! The only difference is the competition is worse. Well , actually better hardware/function design, but worse is and everything else!

Zoom is an extremely good product. I have tried many of the other options including facetime and teams. I think (gut feeling) that Zoom clients operate within a much smaller bandwidth. Never had any major problems with it. Facetime though......

Do people actually rely on reviews when it comes to downloading and using Facebook? You either want to use Facebook or you don’t and someone else’s opinion will likely not change your decision in the matter.
