China forced Apple to remove any app where the developer isnât registered in China. Meaning they asked Apple to remove 95% of the apps and games available in the App Store.
Poor iPhone users, basically they will get a âwechat handheldâ and thatâs itâŚ
Yeah, I didnât look into it beforehand because i was naive and my previous devices were unlocked so i assumed this would be the same. And itâs even more frustrating because while this phone in other regions is unlocked, specifically my canadian model is locked. I wonât be getting another phone any time soon, but yeah, ill be more careful in the future. Just sucks that manufacturers still do this sporadically
That wasnât an attack on you specifically. Most people donât need to know nor care if they can unlock the bootloader. We need some kind of federal mandate/law/whatever that says that they have to be unlocked and people can do what they want with the $1k+ devices they buy. Itâs not even a question with a pc, you can even buy prebuilt systems with no OS or with linux installed if you choose.
This is why I have been a so called Google fanboy/super fan for what feels like a couple of decades. First nexus and now pixel because Iâm guaranteed to be able to install whatever flavor of android exists for whatever phone I am using (if I so choose), I havenât played with roms in years but itâs an option if I feel like it and Iâm considering doing it for my work phone, get that shit running as lean as possible, no need for 99% of the Google apps that come with it.
