Apple allows you to sideload your apps, regardless of where you are in the world.

No, Apple doesn’t generally allow you to sideload apps outside of the EU.

perplexity.ai/…/does-apple-officially-allow-si-TH… (Note that Perplexity cites sources)

Apple officially allows sideloading of apps on iPhones only for users based in the European Union due to the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) which mandates this starting in 2024. For users outside the EU, Apple does not officially allow sideloading.

If Apple officially allows sideloading outside of the EU, please show us the specific pages where Apple states you can sideload any app and the steps to do it? If you’re right, I’ll happily spin on a dime and support you and admit my mea culpa. I have no horse in this race, and I’ll be happy to learn something new. People think admitting they’re wrong is a weakness, when it’s actually a strength.

I said Apple allows sideloading, you tried to correct me…

I didn’t try to correct you because nothing you wrote was wrong. All I did was try to add information to clarify to other readers what “somewhat” actually means so they have an idea what they might be getting into if they wanted to do it. You know, provide simple helpful extra information, so people don’t waste their time trying to find a feature they don’t have if they live outside the EU for example. You even agreed that there are limitations, and that people would have to fork out money to overcome some of them.

But if someone correcting you seems to upset to the point where you come out swinging a baseball bat over a trivial matter, maybe the internet isn’t the place for you just now.

… then changed your argument when you realized you were wrong

I have no idea what you’re referring to here. So being vague again weakens your argument.

Your “tools” that bypass the limitations set by apple wouldn’t even be relevant if they were real…

The tools are very real:

• perplexity.ai/…/for-people-living-outside-the-ycC…
• Sideloadly
• AltStore
• SideStore
• Etc.

Even your links prove that you’re wrong about sideloading…

Again, you didn’t cite anything specific here in what I linked to. The definitions clearly supported that I wasn’t making anything up as you claimed. And all you did was repeat your claim which I’ve already addressed. You didn’t respond to my actual counterpoint or add any additional information. So again, this was vague and pointless.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. You keep stating incorrect information, you’re relying on cherry picking, you’ve stooped to using yet another ad hominin weakening you argument, and you’re getting repetitive and vaguer with each new comment.

I’ve posted plenty of links to show the reality and limitations I originally mentioned, so people can read them and make up there own minds.
