Can‘t wait for my father to enable it, ruin his phone by downloading and installing dodgy shit and I am the one who has to fix it again.

Your pops is tech savvy enough to know how to use sideloading but not understand what not to download? Very slim niche he has cornered

Right? I work in IT, I can’t tell you the number of “my android don’t work because I downloaded something I saw on an ad” tickets we get.

90% of people don’t realize they buy the iPhone for the walled garden.

Surely the setting would be hidden and not active by default.

iOS will still be sandboxed and governed by all the same restrictions. Apps won’t be able to ruin the device.

You need to give your father a Nokia 3310, not an iPhone if you so that much care for his safety

You give your father a Nokia 3310, get yourself a Switch or DS if you care about emulation so much, they’re cheap these days. Problem solved

This issue can be fixed by telling your dad no.
