Yes, there are indeed drawbacks to getting a phone through the carrier, the most important of which is they lock all the bootloaders! They also load the phone will all sorts of apps that I don't need or want, and without root access, that I can't uninstall! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Just a decade or two ago, phones were easier and safer to unlock when locked by whatever carrier locked them. 🤔🤯 Now, forcing to unlock the bootloader can often brick phones. 🤯🤯💸😅

I know, and I despise that nonsense. I used to hack my own phones all the time. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I think I saw the saying somewhere that if you can't do everything you want to do on something that you possess, then you don't truly own it. 🤔🧘♂️🤯🤓

I wonder what do you to any warranty plan whenever you buy a laptop, smartphone, or parts of such. 🤔🤓😏

Well, for phones it voids the warranty, for laptops, I have no idea, probably. I never get warranty plan if they offer it, because I'm not a regular user. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
