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.

Seriously, people care about this a lot more than me. And I currently prefer Android, unlike 90% of people in my age group.
