Google set to cancel “7 years of software updates for the Pixel 8”.
Google will be shuddering its “7 years of software updates” program next month, just 1 year after launch. The company sites unforeseen economic changes for the decision.
Your Pixel 8 will continue to work, but no new updates will be coming.
- Google has so far kept their software update promises for Pixel phones with no issues.
  
  The issue is that those previous promises were for a very short support window, and Google has a terrible track record for any sort of long term support.
  Google supports Pixel? Sure.
  Google supports anything for 7 years? Doubtful.
- Google will be shuddering
  Well it is spooky season
- You still have unlimited Google photos storage with the first Pixel. I'd say they keep their promises just fine.

  Tell that to my otherwise perfectly functioning OnHub router.
  Never been so god damn mad, I got three devices replacing it that still can't match the consistent coverage that thing provided.

7 years support for (new & future) Pixels & 10 years of support for Chromebooks. WATTBA
