Apple being Apple, will charge some absurd fee to "sign" images to sideload on your iPhone. I wouldn't hold my breath. Get GrapheneOS on a Pixel in the meantime.
You can already do that with zero fees. The only issue is you have to redeploy the app after a week. That’s how AltStore works.
You can already side load 3 apps for free on the iPhone but they need to be re-signed every 7 days. There are apps like SideStore that manage re-signing apps for you at the cost of one app slot.
@dingleberry so, your solution is to buy a Pixel, acknowledge that Google has no clue how to make a secure device, unlock your bootloader (unless you take the OTA) and proceed to cripple it even further by removing all of the proprietary features that make the pixel, a pixel. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤣
I use a pixel as is. But given folks on Lemmy like to install random system images from Megafile in the name of privacy, I thought OP wouldn't mind.
