>>Apple is the worst thing that could happen to VR

Like they were for MP3 players, Smartphones, expensive headphones and Smartwatches?

I can't deploy my own developed app to my own devices permanently without paying $100/year.

Yes, I use Android.

I'm confused. Why not? Android lets you sideload.

If you want to develop on iPhone you need to pay to become a developer, $100/year. You can't just run whatever code you like on it.

Google is one-off $25 to publish on their store, but running your own code via sideload is free.

Yes, on iPhone. Parent said they used Android, hence my confusion.

Parent is saying "on iPhone I can't even install my own apps without paying $100, therefore I use (choose) Android".

They definitely innovated once. Nowadays they are mostly responsible for inflating high-end phone and headphone prices to ridiculous levels.
