Bunch of negativity on Apple UI recently, but you gotta give Apple credit for supporting really old phones. Google Pixel, forget about it lol

Pixels 8 and later get 7 years. Not as good as Apple but reasonable.

Pixels 6-7 got 5 years. I'd say that's on the low end of okay.

For "lol" you have to go back to 2021 or earlier. Or look at some of Motorola's offerings.

> Pixels 8 and later get 7 years.

looks like Pixel 8 was released October 2023, so not even 2 years ago. not sure I'd put much stock in what Google says about support after <30% of the stated time.

> Pixels 6-7 got 5 years.

looks like Pixel 6 was released October 2021, so not even 4 years ago.

It's legally binding.

"got" as in announced to be given. Not as in the 5 years of support is already done.

Yes, and Pixel 6 is still supported for at least another year. I'm not sure what your point is.

their point is that it has not yet taken place, so shouldn't be talked about using past tense
