      there are a handful from the jailbreaking days but most people didn’t bother because most of the time they were gone with the next ios-update.

        If you had Cydia (which basically came with every jailbreak) you had a third party app store. The apple app store was literally inspired by it.

      @Ilikecheese it’s been possible since the first year of iphone, if you jailbreak. indeed, a lot of new features iphone got over the years were first found in jailbreak tweaks and apps.
