My Xfinity Mobile store doesn't have the 8+ red phone in stock. Any disadvantage to buying it in the apple store as unlocked then bringing to xfinity mobile to connect as my provider? Like will it he missing some needed software? Thanks
With iPhones nothing really. Only most Android devices you'll run into some issues like Samsung is notoriously slower in updating their unlocked devices in the United States (different elsewhere).My Xfinity Mobile store doesn't have the 8+ red phone in stock.

Well junk apps is subjective Tbh. For the most part even my note 8 has about the same amount of "junk" apps as the iPhone does for me. I actually use more of the pre installed apps like Verizon wireless app, voicemail and etc.There is absolutely no disadvantages to buying an unlocked iPhone. Every phone I have ever owned, including Android, have all been unlocked.
With an iPhone, regardless of weather or not you buy it locked or unlocked you will always get the same software and be running pure iOS without any added junk apps. This is not the case with Android. Most coming from Android are quite surprised by that. Not sure if this has changed, but typically the only time you can get an Android phone without any junk apps is when you buy one unlocked directly from Google. You get pure Android, no added junk apps, and updates directly from Google. The major difference is that Apple updates are reliably more frequent.
You should be able to install the apps you want directly from the app store.

No junk apps or bloat ware is any app that's pre loaded that you don't want. Apple has plenty of those as well. The stocks app, tips app, reminders app to name a few. Nowhere in a dictionary (or the internet) defines bloatware as carrier apps.Junk apps (also called bloatware) are always 3rd party apps that the cell phone provider adds to the phone that you cannot uninstall, and these apps do not come with the OS during the first installation. A pure version of the OS are all apps from the OS creator only. Google allows cell phone providers to add junk apps, Apple does not regardless if it's it's a branded phone.

In this discussion in this thread: The Pure OS is what Apple/Google puts on the phone, regardless of whether or not you want it. Bloatware/junk apps are what the cell phone provider puts on their branded phone that the buyer cannot remove. Some providers even have programmers make a new OS or UI based off of the original (Google allows this, Apple does not).
Those who understand what I am talking about know that there is a difference and know no dictionary is needed. It's just one of those things that goes without saying. You're just not understanding, and that's OK.
Weither or not you want to believe it bloatware is junk apps that is pre installed no matter who makes it be it Apple, Google or your mother, sister brother friend or the dude next door. Junk is junk and is bloat ware. Still isn't relevant to the OP or the thread so your point is still moot.
I do. You clearly don't. Don't get how junk apps defines if he can use a phone on xfinity or not. I was simply stating your views as wrong and clearly was a shot that shows your true colors which is fine. You can have a preference but still doesn't make your views as correct.Like I said, you're definitely not understanding what we're talking about.
