iPhone 5S is untouched on any carrier, they dare not modify or block anything.
Samsung Galaxy phones, e.g. S5, they remove lots of features, latest being Verizon blocking Paypal support for the fingerprint scanner.
I'd have thought Samsung is now big enough to have that kind of pull. With the S3 they were able to introduce the same phone without carrier variants. Not carrying a Galaxy phone is suicide, no carrier would dare refuse it.
Why is Verizon allowed to block updates/remove features from everything except an iPhone? Is it just sales $$, is it money paid?
