I do not plan to purchase it from a carrier. Yes, I’m in the US. Is this even possible?

    It can, but it can’t uninstall system apps like the Play store or Google services. Just disable them at best.

    With that said, once I root my device, I can install Magisk, actually debloat it and maybe install some other apps. I’m looking forward to purchasing a cheap device and experimenting!

      Oh, you can absolutely uninstall them. The files needed for installation will stay, but that’s the case with any app you remove like that.

      Which is rather helpful, because it makes it easier to reinstall something in case you de-bloated a little too hard.

        I see. I thought it could only really disable them at best. Thanks, that helps.
