Will they be unlockable?

    Have they confirmed whether Motorola will change their onerous unlocking process to be more like the Google Pixels?

    Do you know if that's the process for the 2026 Signature? I don't remember exactly but GrapheneOS may have mentioned that for the current Motorola flagship devices the unlocking isn't as onerous.
    Considering Motorola is doing a lot of the porting, I would guess it will be improved or will be easy.

    If there's a "process" that isn't just something done on-device, it is vulnerable to a rug pull (see LG, Sony, Nokia) where they just suddently stop offering it or the service just stops working somehow.
