    Ok, I didn’t see the offer for the watch. Interesting!

    The update issue seems artificial, but I could be wrong. There are different hardware components (requires different kernel drivers) and also a big CPU update, so that could be part of maintaining updates for an older Pixel phone. (Game performance is a non-issue for me since I don’t game on my phone at all.)

    While I get that it is problematic for manufacturers to stop updating old hardware, it doesn’t make sense to me why they would stop in this case. (Oct 2024/Oct 2026 for the Pixel 6 Pro)

    (Just a little questioning/rant, s’all. Please excuse it.)
