Where were you when I was arguing with some dude on Reddit about how people "buy iPhones specifically because they can't sideload" 🙃

Like no, there are lots of genuinely good reasons to buy an iPhone... This is not one

Thank you Tim Apple for freeing me from choice just because the same people that send gift cards to the “IRS” would likely install 85 safari toolbars if sideloading was enabled.

But why would you do that though. It’s a phone company, I couldn’t give two shits which phone someone uses. If someone were trying to drag me into an argument about something so mundane I’d probably just agree with them so we can move past the subject.

People argue about OSes too. It's petty. Use what you want. It's your money and your time.
