While the Pixel 6 ushered in three years of major Android OS version updates and an additional two for security patches, that’s still nowhere near the longevity of the iPhone. Google hopes to change that on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro with noticeably more OS updates.
Pixel 6 ushered in three years? I did some searching and it looks like every Pixel all the way back to Pixel 1 received three full years of updates. Is it just the additional two years of security updates that’s new?
Correct, bringing it to “5” years of updates. Before that it was just a flat 3.
