Android will help network operators to SIM-lock phones

Android Q is set to bring a selection of exciting new features, including a system-wide dark mode and improved control over app permissions.

Other changes might not be so well-received however, such as the four commits made to Android’s Gerrit source code management this past weekend.

So much for being "open".
