Yeah apple is just going to turn this into "lol if you want to sideload go buy a new device" and end up reaping additional billions
They really won't, and they can't.
iOS supports 7 generations back or something for their devices, which means it's all those affected by the new software.
It's alot and it's fair for everyone.
They have to allow sideloading for all devices their app store supports. So either cut off support completely and brick all old devices, or let people do whatever.
