> You seem to not be interested in living with your right to install any app you want on your device

I am unclear on how you have made that inference based on me saying that I do not want deceptive advertising in apps.

> Do you think that general purpose computing devices, which an iPhone is, should no longer have the capability to run software without third-party auditing and approval?

No, I think that if users _want_ to download malware, spyware, or simply ad-laden apps, then they should certainly have the capability to do so (hence, sideloading). My suspicions however, is that outside of malware researchers, users do not want this.

Meanwhile, do you think that users should be exposed to deceptive advertising in their apps?
