You can install third party stores and apps on iOS without a waiting period (in places with decent consumer rights); confirming three popups is all you need to install third party iOS apps.

Unlike on Android, there aren't that many third party iOS apps, though.

Plus, even with Google delaying shipping source code, at least they ship the source code. The traces of source you get with the open Darwin code are nowhere near comparable.

Doesn't apple still "verify" (and can decide not to allow) those supposedly 3rd party applications?
