Two predictions on iOS VM support and Developer mode

[walterpaisley]

1. VM support was added to lay the groundwork to support pro-level apps like Final Cut Pro on iPads. My guess is they won't release them this year, but early next year once iOS 16 has been in full release for a few months. I don't think Pro apps were possible before this due to iOS's RAM limits, but VM support changes that.
2. Developer mode will make it possible for people to install apps from non-App Store sources. It's buried specifically because Apple wants to make it hard to find, so most users won't come across it. It's also labelled "Developer Mode" vs. macOS's "Allow apps downloaded from App store and unidentified developers" to make it seems like something specifically for developers.

1, yes more ram access means more professional apps.

2, it’s not sideloading. Or not officially. It’s labeled developer mode because it allows apps signed by your developer credentials to run. macOS allows any app that is notarized to run. Still a big difference. I could see they flipping a switch and allowing for sideloading if compelled to, but as of now it is still very much meant only for developers.
