    Not denying any of this, Pixel is definitely a power player amongst phones, and I want them to succeed here because the benefits would be amazing. But given Googles track record, including the whole Pixel Pass fiasco, you simply can’t trust a promise like this (at this time).

      Hook, line, and sinker? No. But Pixel Pass was a money thing, this promise is a brand thing.

      Most people didn’t know Pixel Pass exists. They drop this promise, and I guarantee you your grandparents will know about it. It’s a brand killer kind of moment.

      All I’m saying is the scales tip in favour of them holding this up. We’re on the 8th generation of Pixel phones now. Generations 4&5 we’re rough, but they stuck it through when it would have been easier to walk away.
