   In case those lurking aren't aware, Alan Baker is an Apple troll who denies   
   anything about Apple that he hates which, in this case, is that only Apple   
   fucks every single customer up the ass EVERY time they install an IPA.   
      
   On non-toy operating systems (e.g., Windows, Android, Linux, etc.), if you   
   install a free app on one machine, you can install that same app on another   
   (as long as we're assuming compatible hardware & underlying API versions).   
      
   But on the toy operating system from Apple, every single IPA has your   
   unique Apple ID (or family plan ID) locked into the app - even free apps.   
      
   Since Apple directly ties *EVERY SINGLE APP TO YOU!* that you've added to   
   your iOS device (via your mandatory AppleID required to install that app),   
   Apple is well known to track that app usage directly to your own actions!   
      
   Apple *lies* when Apple says there is more privacy on iOS when nobody can   
   track all your app usage on any other operating system but Apple's iOS.   
      
   While Apple's lies do harm (because people pay for a privacy they can't   
   get), it's way worse than that when you try to re-use those IPAs on another   
   device, when that other device MUST be one registered to your own Apple ID.   
      
   No other operating system vendor but Apple fucks their customer like that.   
      
   On Android, every free APK can be re-used on *any* compatible device.   
   Same with Windows. Same with Linux.   
      
   Only Apple fucks their customer with every single app that is installed.   
   a. Apple's lies about privacy (there's less privacy on iOS than Android)   
   b. Apple's app tracking (look it up!)   
   c. Apple's lock against reuse (of free apps!)
