Apple faces choices. They could try to restrict sideloading further, but that means fighting against a tide of users who simply want to run software they or their friends created.
History suggests this is the likely path. Most people will accept the phone, ipads and computers as they are. Like IndieWeb there is a population of people going against that current, but not a tide. Unless e.g. interoperability reqs from DSA, DMA force the issue. Sideloading is actually installing.
You need three things. A Mac with Xcode, which is free to download. A $99 per year Apple Developer account. And an AI tool that can write code based on your descriptions.

This way I made a lot of existing apps that I happily paid for absolutely obsolete. The stuff that I created was simply doing more of what I wished for, building on the ideas of all the apps I have seen before. A next iteration, but just for me.
Making personal tools makes generic ones obsolete. Yet, the generic ones do serve as starting point for inspiration and design choices. Personal iterations on top of what went before.
So far I have built six different apps this way in the past few weeks. A personal transit tracker. A task manager tailored to my exact workflow. Small tools that solve specific problems in my life.

I regularly hear "radar phone" as "red iPhone" which wouldn't exist until long after the release of this song on 1987-09-08.

in the offline world I am a big fan of Moleskine reporter’s notebooks. They are just the perfect size. I always said I wanted an iPhone the size of a Moleskine notebook, and that’s what the iPhone 6 Plus is.
While mostly a digital guy, Tom Standage uses Moleskine's reporter's notebooks which he likes because they're the size of an iPhone 6 plus.

According to this not-entirely-vetted World Wide Web service, this unit ("Candela per square meter") is 1:1 equivalent to "Nits."
...no, it would seem the latter is just an incorrect name for the same unit. Cool.
Life in the Middle Ages just seems harder: plagues swept the world, dramatic climate change led to food shortages, unstable political power created unpredictable violence, religious prejudice and superstitions were common, and no one had invented a single iPhone. Terrible.
these weren't as extreme as netflix and stuff mades them out to be

iOS 15.0 introduces a new feature: an iPhone can be located with Find My even while the iPhone is turned "off"
If membership isn’t scarce, the membership loses its signal message. The same applies to physical products: Apple will never offer a cheap iPhone to compete with low-end Android devices – it would destroy the company’s signal message that the iPhone is a luxury product.
If a high-end brand comes out with a low-end offering, it is diluting the high-end part of their brand message. Apple will never come out with a low-end version of the iPhone because it would dilute the message of being a premium phone.
Testing data provided to the Senate showed the effectiveness of the Australian app, particularly on Apple iPhones, remains an issue. The app only worked 25 to 50 per cent of the time during locked iPhone-to-iPhone testing on May 26. At launch, it was worse, working only 25 per cent of the time or less for locked iPhone to locked iPhone. When running in the background, it also didn't work well.

We believe that everyone can take great photos. Here are some tips and techniques to help you take even better ones — and enjoy them — with your iPhone.
half of iPhone users don’t know there’s a unique ID on their phone (called an IDFA, for “identifier for advertisers”) tracking their app activity and sending it to third-party advertisers by default.

What contemporary object can be both a tool and a weapon, like the machete? Communication technologies like cell phones might serve as one candidate, especially in light of their application during the “Arab Spring.” But can the iPhone ever bear the same gravitas as the machete? Is silicon the new steel? Information has been a part of every arsenal, revolutionary or otherwise. Still, it’s hard to imagine driving a smartphone into a body “down to the Apple.”
The writer brings a more modern and relatable point of view into the the mix. Since in this day in age almost everybody in America has a smartphone it makes it more easier for the readers to understand the point he is trying to make. Then brings up a controversial point of Arab terrorist using smart phones to act out violence. A entirely different but similar view to take based on the machete argument. It strengthens his claims, the more some isolates different realms of reason the more the topic can handled more circumspectly. (Haltman 7). He broadens his horizons by presented a more relatable topic to the audience instead of just sticking to just a provincial topic of farming tool and weaponry.

for most people, it’s definitely not essential; you don't need Siri to function the way you need your phone. Now that Apple has an assistant it trusts, it has to teach people how to use it.
This is true.
