What does that mean?

You would be able to install apps directly from a file, no need to go through the App Store.

Similar to how Android lets you sideload .APK files

Nice so could download Samourai on iOS for example if this were true?

No sir. They are written in completely different languages.

What this means is that you could, if implemented, install iOS apps from outside the Apple App Store. Meaning even apps that Apple doesn’t approve of.

Ok so if Samourai was written in a compatible language tho ?

Sure. But they’re not going to.

Curious to see if/how Apple potentially adds an asterisk to the option to side load. Have heard some speculation on this.

Better than what we have today

100% - but Apple will be Apple 😁

Skeptical.

I won’t give them any credit until it’s possible to do on my phone. I remain skeptical as well.

Hilarious that you're all waiting with baited breath for your omnipotent tech lord Apple to grant you permission to sideload apps.

Just get an Android phone already. Fuck Apple.

I’ve got an iPhone for daily use and a Graphene pixel for freedom tech stuff

Figures… they’ll allow side-loading only in jurisdictions where their hand is forced to do so.
