Comment on Google building firewall between Android and Motorola parent

Comments

That sort of crapware has nothing to do with Motorola, it's mandated by carriers. The only phones that don't have it are the phones Google sells/gives away, which the carriers don't really carry too much about.

Now Moto does add crapware of its own in the form of specialized skin called Blur, but again this is common, each Android phone producer has their own version of specialized skin.

Like the crapware that carriers mandate on the iPhone?

In fairness, the carriers can't say to Apple "fine, we'll just carry this other iOS device from another company willing to load it up with crapware". They can with Android.
