after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as
- very mid ui design
- kinda floaty feeling
- unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on “locked down user hostility”. overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders
I got a pixel because I heard I can install Graphene OS on it and when I got it I couldn’t enable OEM unlocking. We’re being cornered.
I had to return the phone TWICE for exactly this problem. I bought a specifically unlocked phone, and got a locked one twice, directly from Google. They just do not care.
You bought a carrier-locked device. You need an unlocked one.
Did you get a carrier unlocked phone?
Well thats important. How do I avoid this?
You need to buy an “unlocked” model. They sell carrier-locked devices at a discount so that they can install spyware on them, and then lock them down so you can’t remove it or take it to another carrier.
Don’t buy from Verizon or any carrier that locks bootloaders on phones, usually used global Pixels are the best choice
Did you get a Pixel 11?
