I installed Ignited via SideStore. No Jailbreaking necessary. Not computer tether. SideStore can renew the side loaded emulator every 7 days when on WiFi. The iPhone is perfect for DS emulation with a stylus.
(Ignited is a fork of Delta with more options, and SideStore is a fork of AltStore, with no computer tether needed)
It’s nice, but why would it tempt you to Apple? The same thing is available on android with much less work. F-Droid is a FOSS app catalogue, and you can just download it off the play store. You can also just use Firefox and play local music with nothing getting in the way.
Because there actually are some desirable features only on iPhones. iMessage is the big one, but also many app developers–and college students around me!!!–treat Android users as 2nd class citizens; also I want to degoogle myself a bit. I’m also afraid of the direction Android is going in right now.
However, iPhones currently have so many undesirable “features” that I’ll never switch at the moment. The big ones are no sideloading, crappy file manager, no Firefox+uBlock origin, and no local music player. And the 2000% storage markups on iPhones are atrocious.
I don’t understand the iMessage thing. How is it desirable? It functions the same except you get a different color bubble if you’re messaging from android, which makes me want to join them less not more.
When do android users get treated like second class citizens by developers? Which apps, besides Apple owned ones like iMessage?
Degoogle yourself with android. Why is running to another megacorp better? Android is the only way to somewhat get away from them, but you have to put in a little effort.
I just don’t get the Apple stuff. The only tiny benefit that I see is they might be better at securing user data from government agencies maybe. Everything else is worse for more money.
