Now that Apple has been forced to allow alternative App Stores, are there already similar stores like F-Droid emerging for iOS?

It’s not really the same though. It’s reliant on a host PC.

Yep - that’s because Apple has not released a stable way to create alternative app stores. Developpers still have to find roundabout ways to offer an alternative store. I am sure they will adapt as soon as they can get a stable stand-alone app working in the apple ecosystem

Not that fast, by Apple’s rules a 3rd party store offering what AltStore offers could be banned in no time. Besides the costs.
