- Please let this pass in the US as well. I want apps that don’t have to send a 30% cut to Apple just for existing on their appstore, plus apps that Apple would never approve of in their high standards. - deleted by creator - YES. 
 
 
- If I could install something like F-droid where I know any app I download there is free and open source it would make it easy to move over from Android to iPhone. - Got sick of the apps having ads and constant subscription pestering on the appstore. I’ll at the very least use some Foss app place on my iPad.

Really the entire Amazon appstore is a sideloading server. Apple sites seem to not know that Android has had some of these features forever.
