I’ve had iPhones for 15 years now. I’ve wanted side loading the entire time. It’ll be nice if I can do that without jailbreaking, but I won’t be holding my breath.
This is probably the main reason why I don't use an iphone. I was surprised I had to jailbreak for such a simple functionality when I first got my iphone 4. That was my first and last iphone.
You can already sideload by using AltStore. There is some drawbacks but it’s worth it
Why not just get an Android phone instead of encouraging the company that doesn't want you to do what you want?
I’ve used Android devices before and just didn’t like them as much.
