I’m okay with this. Didn’t read the article — I read one on Ars Technica or somewhere wore.
iPhone guy, but say I get an Android phone that has this. Say the Pixel 11 Pro ships with it. So I do the thing, right when I get it… 24 hours after that I can install whatever? That’s fine. It’s only 24 hours and then it’s open as long as you want it to be. I don’t even think I need to sideload, but I’ll want the option. And it’s still better than the hoops we gotta jump through to sideload on iPhone.

The fact that iOS is a joke doesn’t make this any better, and there’s no such thing as “sideloading” outside of corporate FUD; it’s installing perfectly goddamn normal software on your goddamn device that you goddamn own. I didn’t “sideload” Firefox onto my desktop. “Yeah, bro, I just sideloaded Hades II.”
