Well considering the article is about a product launch in the US… seems relevant. Carrier locking isn’t illegal at all in the US.
They didn’t even used to have to unlock it once a contract was over, not that most carriers at the time would allow unlocked phones on their network anyway, they do at least have to do that now.
Yeah, but carrier locked phones are illegal in many places (and always have been), aren’t they still allowed in the US?
