I know that my blatant request for this might get me in trouble, but please help me, I’m in a third world country and i just won that iPhone in a contest, I got depressed after knowing the price of the game(which is literally a quarter of my dad’s wage, he might go nuts if i told him to buy the game 😂)anyway, i don’t want to return to my old infinix phone, please help😭🙏
Can sideload any app by self-sign without jailbreak, called testflight. Only last for 90 day, then resign. Maybe need pc to flash ipa, but any pc not apple only.
Need apple account, think also need activate developer thing for testflight.
Find minecraft ipa (maybe minecraft pocket edition) on internet. Apply usual caution for executable code downloaded from internet.
- Sell iphone
- Buy Android
- Install Minetest / Luanti.
Net positive from every angle.
What do you want mc for? Without sideloading, jailbreaking getting a leggit copy might not be too easy. If its just building and unleashing your creativity then the luanti fork someone Else mentioned might be right up your alley
r/sideloaded has all the resources you need. I recommend sideloadly or altstore. Just remember, in all the free options, you can only sideload up to 3 apps at a time, and only register 10 apps per week. Once you get it on your phone, you’ll have to refresh it at least once a week, otherwise it expire and won’t open until you do
You can’t,
Don’t forget that it’s an iphone, you don’t have any freedom.
Well, simply not possible. Might not be what you want to hear, but iOS simply isn’t for you if you’re not prepared to pay for pretty much everything.
Unlike Android there’s not a lot of good free stuff and you can’t pirate anything on iOS.
How about multicraft? It is a fork of Luanti that appears to be tolerated on the app store.
Why not sell with good price ? And buy some android
Having an iPhone in my age and country is a kind of privilege, i can’t forget how my high school classmates looked at me while holding it 😂, anyway, if i can overcome this little obstacle, it will be perfect for me, if not, i might give up on minecraft until i reach the age of consent for work, save up a little bit and buy the game, anyway again, thx for your advice
It always baffles me how people believe that having an iPhone is somehow a status symbol. Apple really got their marketing right to get people to believe that somehow you’re better than others if you have an iPhone.

Peak teenager right here.
I get that you see that phone as a ‘status symbol’ because it’s expensive and all of the marketing, and how other kids look at you etc etc. The thing is if you didn’t buy it and can’t afford it then it’s a false status.
Also the whole ‘status symbol’ etc thing is just a money trap designed to keep everyone poor/in debt, but that’s something you’ll -hopefully- realise as you age.And that isn’t just about that phone, it’d be the same if you won a Ferrari to drive, or a castle to live in. If you can’t afford the things to begin with then you can’t afford the upkeep of them. When you’ve been lucky then the clever thing is to sell it on and do something worthwhile with the money.
In a few years time the phone will be basically worthless. Hell, in a few months time it’ll be worth a lot less. And you’ll be looking back and thinking “Shit, I should’ve sold it when I had the chance to make some proper money on it instead of trying to be flashy in front of my mates”
Another thing to remember is that in a few years time few -if any at all- of these schoolmates will remember you and your phone. They’ll be off living their own lives. And there’s the chance that if they do remember it’ll be more like “Hey, remember that kid who won the iPhone and would ponce around school with it pretending to be rich? What was their name again?”I know this advice is going to fall on deaf ears but the smart move here is to sell it, buy another phone, and do something special with the money.
Funny when I was reading this, a friend of mine IRL actually won a BMW X5 many years ago when we were all just starting our careers, while he could afford to drive it, she sold it and reinvested the money and a bucket load richer.
Betting on things is legal in the UK, and we have something called an accumulator. Basically you pick a number of horses/dogs/etc and then choose X number of races.
If what you pick wins the first race then it’s automatically put on the second and so on. If one of your picks loses then you lose the lot.Anyways in the early 90s a mate of mine won a 15 horse accumulator. He put £1 in and won something like £270000. Astonishingly, astonishingly lucky. Especially as he knew nothing about horses and basically picked them all because of their names!!
He talked about expensive holidays or to go to las Vegas to “carry on his winning streak” and buying expensive cars etc. At that time our friend group consisted of about 8 lads and we all sat him down in a pub and all basically said “stop talking like a twat”.
It took a bit of time, negotiation, and compromise but in the end he decided to buy a modest house outright, take about £10k for stupid shit, and invest the rest. Which he did.Within a few years he was basically set for life. House paid for and money from good investments. He gave up his stressful job and got a job working as a school caretaker.
Life took us all in different directions and countries but he is still set up and enjoying life. Never went to las Vegas though, which is probably definitely a good thing!!Fkn hell that’s some luck! Good advice goes a long way.
Whats up w These downvotes? Might be superficial yes but god forbid he enjoys having others envy him for a bit
Hey - I don’t usually do this, but I grew up poor and I get it. DM me, I’ll buy you the game.

Sell that iPhone and make enough so that your dad doesn’t have to work for the next couple of years.
As a long time poor person myself, please don’t give this sort advice. It doesn’t help. When your poor, getting something like OPs competition win can make life feel not so glum. What you’re saying is to sell happiness for slightly more security that will only last so long. Once the extra runs out, you’re back where you were with zero ability to buy that ‘luxury’ back. Having something nice when your poor can make a big difference to mental health.
Also please don’t assume that poor people don’t know how to budget and that they need unsolicited financial advice from strangers who don’t have any idea what their day to day circumstances and finances are.
This is exactly right, and thanks for saying it. The assumption that poor people don’t understand money is just so completely incorrect, and frankly damaging. Poor folks understand money (and specifically, what it can and can’t do) better than anyone else on this earth.
Agree W the first half
His/her story wasn’t really plausible because if it was true parents would be the first to suggest and then do it.
My dad is not the type to do such a thing (neither is my mom). He’s actually quite happy that I finally got a phone and will stop asking him to buy me a new one
I don’t get the downvotes. It’s sound advice. The phone is a depreciating asset and while I get the “status symbol” of an iPhone for kids, it’s just a phone. My first iPhone coincidentally which I also won in a company contest was an iPhone 4, before that I just used a Chinese knock off Nokia 6300. Priorities man.
I didn’t reach the age of consent for work yet, but thx for your advice
Can’t.
Or just stop using iPhones completely and buy a cheap Android phone.
