Google is doing everything in their power to make me move to an iphone... between shit like this, effectively bricking some old models of pixels with un-rollbackable patches that destroy batteries, closing down the android development process, making absurd testing requirements to publish apps, etc.

Google doesn't make better phones, they were just less hostile to the consumer. That seems to be going away :(

Is sideloading a thing on iOS?

There's a technical possibility, but it's not a thing, as in there's not a lot of iPhone users interested in that

I was way into the Cydia/Jailbreaking scene back in the day. These days, I find it hard to care about being able to do weird stuff with my iPhone. I just care that it works well.

Apple adopted many ideas that first appeared on Cydia. Some customisation options, some missing features. And now even game emulators are available on App Store.
