> Unless you have a link to show evidence that they know how to modify the devices to prevent them from ever phoning home again? Because even if you somehow manage to reset and wipe the device offline, it’ll still phone home and brick itself as soon as it gets a connection because the ID is in hardware. Would this happen if the phone were moved to a network in China? I didn't want to go into that aspect of it, but my understanding is that the phones get sent to a location in China and worked on there. I don't have any evidence on hand, but I am sure you can find some. If you want me to dig into it I can, but just not at this moment.
