OnePlus 6T A6013 128GB (Unlocked)

One of the best features of OnePlus phones is a fairly vanilla Android ROM (firmware) with *relatively* low amounts of bloatware and spyware pre-installed. OnePlus phones can all be flashed with better, privacy-centered "ungoogled" AOSP firmware by a very simple and instant user-unlock method, which makes them some of the best devices around for security, privavy and open-source-minded users.Apparently not so with the T-Mobile branded versions...T-Mobile packs a load of bloatware, spyware apps and spyware "system services" into their firmware image. T-Mobile spies on you and sells your information that they gather this way, there is no way to opt out or prevent this from happening without removing the spyware from the ROM itself**, so T-Mobile has a monetary incentive to take the ability away from you to remove that garbage from the phone: They lock the bootloader with an encryption key which you have to request and wait weeks for (if they give it to you at all)People familiar with phone modding will be familiar with this anti-consumer rights / anti-ownership process. A 14 day wait period to unlock is not as egregious as manufacturers who lock you out of it permanently (or wait much longer). But its completely unacceptable, especially for manufacturers which have a reputation for allowing you to use your device however you wish.Remeber: If you can't fully use, control or repair your device because someone is preventing you from doing so, you don't own your device.Corporation who sell you things you aren't allowed to own are stealing from you.For those curious: - The bootsplash is the pink T-Mobile screen - There's about a dozen spyware apps. Be sure to nuke the radio hooks, esp if you want to use a Mint APN - OEM/bootloader unlock procedure is available through oneplus's website. Wait is supposedly 7-14 days. - You can still rootlessly (sorta) remove the T-Mobile bloatware/spyware PER-USER in the interim period through the usual method with ADB, with the caveat that any OTA update can/will reinstall them all over again.
