iOS 17.2 hints at Apple moving towards letting users sideload apps from outside the App Store::undefined

As a current iPhone owner the one thing I miss about android is how easy it was to install apps from outside the play store.
Maybe we will get a better web browser one day!
Firefox isn't available for iPhone ?
It is, but apple forces all browsers to be reskinned safari under the hood
Only safari (webkit} shells. There's been rumors of apple preparing to open up that requirement for appstore approval, but hasn't happened yet as far as I know.
Honestly that, and not being able to side load, are the only things holding me from switching. Yes I could get a pixel and install graphene OS on it, but I don't have time for that anymore and I just want a simple solution that gets support out of the box, and allows me to run the apps I want.
I'm not going so far as to say I'd switch -- but I'd certainly get an iPhone and give it a try if it had sideloading/other app stores allowed (which in turn would allow other browser engines, since that's a store limitation). Would love to see an F-Droid equivalent for iOS start up.
