Imagine an alternate reality where Steve Jobs never budged on allowing apps on the iPhone, but allowed people to jailbreak their phones as long as they took responsibility for it (like how some Chromebooks have a dev mode).
You'd have tons of fun little apps, and almost no #enshittification of the app store. You'd also have a lot of great PWAs for those who never wanted to jailbreak their phones.
I don't miss the iPhone, but I absolutely miss the golden era (2008-2013ish) of the #iPhone.
