    Doesn’t iPhone already have pretty much the exact restrictions that are coming to Android?

      I don’t have an iPhone to test, but google is showing mixed results so I can’t confirm.

      However, Ive been on android for about 20 years, never owned an iPhone, always android. I’d ditch it just for blocking it as a point.

        If side loading is actually allowed on iOS it’s exclusively because the past few years of lawsuits forced them to, and they keep trying to block it in new ways. Android can only be equally bad as Apple at worst, because Apple is as bad as they are legally allowed to in a given jurisdiction. So picking iOS over Android over that specific issue seems odd. They get brownie points for having blocked it from the start?
