iOS would be the better alternative

  • Already can't "sideload". iOS will be just as restrictive as Android in 2026-2027.
  • Apps immediately gets killed in the background. Can't even transfer data to a USB Drive without needing to downloading a separate app, and need the app in the foreground.
  • iPhones cannot multitask
  • Developer account costs $99 **per year. On Google its only a $25 one time fee (for the near future, at least, I can't predict what they will do in like 2035)
