First age verification, mastercard and visa controlling what people purchase, and now this, there isn’t any good news lately.
Hey, at least Hulk Hogan died
I’m on v7 and it’s also removed in that version. I blame it on Google’s efforts to enforce apps having that new Play store integrity bullshit.
v7 in the EU, bootloader unlocking is still an option. Might be an EU thing.
Looks like I’m on v6 and it’s not here either.
well it’s suck… soon many smartphones manufacturer will copy what Samsung does
Where have you been the last 10 years? Very few devices have allowed bootloader unlocking, Samsung is no exception with their US market devices.
Who else does it (as of now) other than Google (Pixel)
OnePlus, and a couple other Chinese brands (so long as you jump through their hoops). I may be forgetting some.
I thought that OEM unlocking was removed years ago? That’s why I’ve not bought Samsung phones since the mid-2010s.
They had a thing that would blow a fuse if you unlocked your phone. Did they get rid of that for a while?
Fyi the “feature” was called KNOX
they were not yet blocking it with knox, they were permanently tainting your device with it if you decided to assert your ownership rights
