    Its not a killing, its a rebranding. Its just being called a killed device because its Google.

    Its like claiming Apple is killing iPhones every few years.

    “Apple killing iPhone S” in 2018.

    “Apple killing iPhone C” in 2014, another for the Apple graveyard.

    “Apple killing iPhone Plus” in 2018, another for the Apple graveyard.

    “Apple killing the iPhone SE” in 2023, another for the Apple graveyard.

    “Apple killing iPhone Mini” in 2022, another for the Apple graveyard.

    This doesn’t even include other devices like the G models, Unibodies, and Retina iMac models. Just look at that Apple graveyard growing and so quickly…

    This could also be claimed on things from most other large, older tech companies. But the reality is, a rebranding is not a killing of the device. This is just clickbait.

        And these are the same line of devices in the article, just with different names. Exactly the same thing, only difference is who the makers are.
