I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

    Edit: just checked. I can completely bypass all my locked down Google Pixel settings to factory reset my phone pretty easily if I press the right keys in the right order. It would be pretty easy to steal and resell my phone.

    Mind to share what “Keys in the right order” are? I mean a link, of course, because in my experience you just can’t do that with a locked bootloader.

      Enter recovery mode and choose factory reset. The specific key combination for your device may vary.
