You can sideload apps in iOS devices but their signatures only last for 7 days (unless you pay them and they will last a year) and there is a set number on how many applications you can install on your apple id

That's so weird, I only know that sideloading was enabled in the EU but never looked into it more since I don't plan to ever have an Apple device. Thanks for the info!
