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.

I'm reading this now on a Pixel 2XL. It runs reasonably well, though I've currently got a few too many apps running in the background crapping it up. It's asinine that Google dropped support for this model so quickly, and I really have no faith in them at all anymore. 7 years is what it should have always been.

Early pixel models comes with unlimited google photos feature etc. I think maintaining is more of a lost revenue to google than patching cost. If customos devs can do it on donation so can google. Probably a reason for google to obselete them and a reason for us to keep alive and running it as long as possible.

I still see few custom roms spoofing as early pixel models to enable unlimited google photos.
