The global variants of Xiaomi smartphones will reportedly no longer allow bootloader unlocking, as the company is said to be planning to shut down the program. It's worth noting that Xiaomi has already closed the program in China.
That’s the problem. You paid only once. The companies want you to pay indefinitely. And if they control your OS, well, they can shove ads or broatware into your face all they wish gaining more revenue.
Not to mention both phones and TVs are crazy expensive to manufacturer. They can’t effectively sell a device at a reasonable price so they make it cheaper and make up for it elsewhere
What a shame. I don’t get why they would do that. Didn’t I pay for the phone?
