The problem isn't technical. It's about control (not the user's obviously), and 'must-have' apps that run only on Android and IOS.

- bArray 7y agoMaybe for some, but why almost all but a few "indie" phones are locked down in this way? I suspect it's more about cost as having a "motherboard" chip means increasing the BOM and pushes an already tight PCB layout to be tighter. Still, I really hope there is some way to incentivize manufacturers to do this.
