I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.
2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.
I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.
It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.
I would not get your hopes up. The last I heard the rumor said that you would only be able to side
load on an iPhone if it was activated on a European carrier
Yeah we’ll see how far it goes. I’m in Europe so if I do end up switching to iPhone I’d be able to benefit from it. But then who knows what other limitation they implement lol.
That said it seems like other non-EU countries are going to follow suit so maybe it will go further than just the EU even if not immediately, like a domino effect. Or maybe this is just wishful thinking haha.
This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.

Lol we still have these an my company.

They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.
You guys are getting new devices?
Hopefully sideloading will come soon and open up some of the potential on iOS (I say this as an android user)

Fair enough. I’m just saying from apple I’d expect nothing more but barely passing the definition malicious compliance.
