- Android will require apps to be signed with real name signatures. You can install apps from anywhere.
- iPhone doesn’t allow any apps to be installed except when downloaded from Apple through iTunes.
I’ll go to iphone if it’s not able to be disabled. And I hate iphone.

You can side load on iphone. I can’t verify since I don’t have an iPhone, but I’m seeing mixed posts online.
Either way, I’d change on the fact they’re disabling going forward just as a parting middle finger.

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?
