Sounds like a phone (with an unlocked bootloader) that costs $100 to $200 would be somewhere between a low-end and a mid-range phone. π€πΈπ€―π

Yes, that's likely true. I'll definitely need to spend more to get the kind of phone to which I'm accustomed. I usually get them through the carrier, which gives upgrade discounts, so I've usually gotten new phones for just over $100. π π π β¨ π€

While discounts are good, I assume that there are drawbacks to getting a phone from a carrier compared to getting it online without passing through a courier. π€π€―π€

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! πππβ¨π€

Just a decade or two ago, phones were easier and safer to unlock when locked by whatever carrier locked them. π€π€― Now, forcing to unlock the bootloader can often brick phones. π€―π€―πΈπ

I know, and I despise that nonsense. I used to hack my own phones all the time. π π π β¨ π€

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. π€π§ββοΈπ€―π€

Bingo, exactly! If I own a device, I want to actually own it, in full! πππβ¨π€
