While the Pixel 6 ushered in three years of major Android OS version updates and an additional two for security patches, that’s still nowhere near the longevity of the iPhone. Google hopes to change that on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro with noticeably more OS updates.
How about they give my pixel 3 more updates, it’s more than capable of running the current version of Android
It’s the same reason nobody should ever trust Google’s AdWord account specialists. They aren’t trying to help you, they just want your money.
Pixel 6 ushered in three years? I did some searching and it looks like every Pixel all the way back to Pixel 1 received three full years of updates. Is it just the additional two years of security updates that’s new?
Do you mean to tell me that 4 weeks after I bought a Google smartphone for the first time, partly because they support their phones for so long, Google announced that the next iterations of their smartphones will be supported even longer?
Feels like they say this every single year – let’s see what they’ll tell us next
Most people won’t remember software updates after 4-5 years. People want a reliable phone, easy and cheap to repair. More durable glasses (like the new Huawei/Honor).
Yeah, but trusting CCP-compromised companies with your personal phone is not a great idea.
Probably fine if you’re not a journalist, activist, politician, public servant or responsible for anything important.
Will it also still continue to overheat like the Pixel though so we get the best of both worlds?
I so resent this market. I’m just jailbreaking the next one or whatever.
