Don't think about it, the iOS17 open side load doesn't even have your share!

Yesterday, we had already revealed the biggest mystery of WWDC2023 for a few days. Apple has decided to release the VR headspace. Although this is the most important development direction for Apple in the coming years, and even the launch event will be extended as a result, iOS17 still receives the highest attention from users. Although there may not be too many changes in system functions, there will be a change that can affect the iOS ecosystem, that is, the sideloading will be forced to be released.

In fact, Apple does not want to do this at all, because many Apple executives, including CEO Cook, have emphasized the serious consequences of open side loading more than once, which is that device privacy security will be more threatened. However, under pressure from the European Union, Apple has had to compromise in iOS17, allowing iPhone users to download and install applications from non AppStore channels.

Although relevant EU regulations must be implemented, the so-called principle of fairness is not necessarily a good thing, because not everyone can stick to the bottom line in the face of interests. Sometimes stronger regulation can better promote industry development. The Android platform is indeed more open, but the negative impact it brings cannot be ignored.

Junk software downloaded with one click, accurate and accurate advertisements for users, irresistible association launches, unscrupulous permission acquisition, and domestic relevant departments regularly publish some mobile apps that seriously infringe on user rights. Every time, they are 100% handled by Android applications, and similar situations are almost impossible to occur on iOS platforms.

From a developer's perspective, this is certainly a great thing, as it allows for a 15% -30% tax exemption, which means that the vast majority of the income is put into one's own pocket and one can also do some "things they want to do", which seems like killing two birds with one stone.

However, from the perspective of users, open side loading is indeed a recipe for endless trouble. Developers will become reckless when doing things that affect user rights and interests. Many software will only have a basic version available on the AppStore, and all upgrades and updates will no longer go through the Apple channel. In addition, developers will pursue the listing of some platforms with extremely low or even no taxes and fees, which will form vicious competition in order to obtain developers to settle in, The platform will be conditional on relaxing regulation, and over time, the entire industry environment will continue to deteriorate.

I have said multiple times before that developers use the AppStore to promote their own applications, but they do not want to manage them to a certain extent to Apple, which clearly does not comply with the principle of fair dealing.

As a user, I would rather support Apple's strict management of developers in exchange for a healthy and safe ecological environment, rather than sacrificing safety for a little convenience and doing things like picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons. Moreover, it is not impossible to install applications in non AppStore channels, but it's just a little trouble. The developers who support this decision are only for their own less glamorous ideas.

By the way, the iOS17 launch has nothing to do with domestic users, and even its headquarters in the United States will not be open. It is likely to only be implemented within the European Union, and my personal opinion is that it is best not to come to the China region for this matter.

Dear fruit fans present, won't anyone support open side loading?
