Smhhh
So…almost every company… It would have been easier to make a list about the companies who do allow bootloader unlock
even companies that don’t sell phones anymore; who’s still buying windows phones?!
Wait what, Energizer makes phones?

OH SHIT.
They care about your data, which is why they’ve taken steps to ensure they always have access to the data that they care so much about.
they are collecting it to protect it, like a British Museum
And like a British museum, they won’t let you have it back.
But they will let visitors come and check it out!
For a fee
The Amazon Fire Phone is conspicuously absent from this list.
