   Arno's statement is so absurd - it shows he has zero iOS understanding.   
   Neither Arno nor the IQ 40 Alan Baker understands how APKs & IPAs work.   
      
   Even more absurd, for some reason, both think using free apps is "theft".   
   Which is a ridiculous thing for either Arno or the IQ 40 Alan Baker to say.   
      
   Using free apps is "theft" to Arno & to the IQ 40 Alan Baker.   
   Who is *that* stupid to think that using a free app is "theft"?   
      
   Only Arno. And the IQ 40 Alan Baker.   
   Nobody else would make such a patently preposterous claim.   
      
   HINT: Using free apps is not theft.   
      
   FACT about how Android free APKs work:   
   1. Download a free app APK from Google's App Store.   
   2. Try to use that free app on a device with a different Google ID.   
   3. It works.   
      
   FACT about how Android free APKs work:   
   1. Download a free app IPA from Apple's App Store.   
   2. Try to use that free app on a device with a different Apple ID.   
   3. You can't.   
   --   
   HINT: With Android, assuming the hardware is compatible, you can re-use a   
   free app APK on any Android phone on the planet. With iOS, you can only use   
   that free app IPA on a device with a single Apple ID (or family plan).
