This is an android 16 feature, scheduled for sept 2026 "prerelease" and 2027 rollout. I expect/hope some phones will have a setting to disable "the security". If not, there is great opportunty for high end hardware linux first phones, with good android emulation software.
I'll go to iphone if it's not able to be disabled. And I hate iphone.
You can side load on iphone. I can't verify since I don't have an iPhone, but I'm seeing mixed posts online.
Either way, I'd change on the fact they're disabling going forward just as a parting middle finger.
