    Used by googogaplle to cheet on us and force updates to push whatever they want.

    That's why we're here now...people want updates, want those companies control all, and then cry because they realized they've been faked...

        in Europe it is a three-year warranty Android is not fully compatible manufacturers risk getting the phones back if security updates are not provided

          I'll tell you one thing: if a corporation like Apple is losing, they're just winning secretly.

          Do you think they'll let data go to other apps, or to stay on the phone, that easily?

              EU is flexing its muscles now that it has forced Apple to change its charge cables.

              If only they had a high profile phone manufacturer in their own zone they could bully. :D

                      I got a question:
                      Why... When Apple default apps were "deleted" and replaced, people will CHEERS?
                      But... When Google default apps were "replaced" by the Chinese brand, people will hate?
                      Why it's negative when, there's no Google map, there's no youtube?
                      But not negative when EU do it to apple???

                        yy, 23 Aug 2024there must be fair rules even if you are 80 years oldI agree. Even at 52 I think it should be fair. But seem we are ultra minotrity, most people don't care and pay and pay. Will write eu maybe they'd answer haha. as I paid a lot of tax for th and they are extremely high wage for doing so 'smart' and supposedly fair laws.

                            ADB is the last way to go and soon even won't work ( non disable packages , force to have zamzung-googoo account and sim to boot up and so on). And gov love that, that act they are against their Giga billion company but they studied same, use sale jets, same restaurants and so on.

                            We as western talk a about 'democracy' and 'republic' but not doing much better than China recently.

                            Seems no one care, just a few oldfarts needing and tweaking looking like anarshost.

                            But forget opening phones for sure. It's all encrypted by THEIR root certificates, some even resided in hardware. Among other things.

                                Because let's be honesr, sure there is ADB but it would be nice to NOT need that to remove the apps that only allow to be turned off (and sometimes not even that)

                                  It's completely apple and Eu faking us again
                                  What alternative appstores ? Even on Android, they tend to disappear, or to be Shaddy ( like apkpure and their xapk).
                                  Also which browser ? And apple will enforce pure madenness Locke everything rules so no one can ever add any other browser after installing safary.
                                  Maybe some gaming companies will release specific Appstore, and If that would happen one day, that'd certainly be limited to games

                                  In the end, you'll have. Soft bricked iPhone. Good to know.

                                  Since they jailed iPhone and force nln rootable phones, pretending our 'security' ( a buzz word googapple used to force whatever their Shaddy and darkpatterns to make tera billions of £¥$), that's over. They control your phone, root certificate, hardware factory encrypted, you pay a lot but it's their phone and they swallow your privacy whatever you or EU may claim
                                  Many engineers like me could have make some competition but Eu like Mr Breton prefered to send IT to Africa. We'll pay the results of their greedy shenanigans incompetency for years and years.
                                  Have a good day :)
