G+_Ronald Cole Jr Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Will the Google Pixel get at least 4 years of updates? If it is that'll be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Craig Dewar Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Why 4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Luis Padilla Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Craig D Android devices usually get updates up to 2 years & Apple tends to update older iPhones along with their new ones. iOS 10 made it all the way to the iPhone 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Craig Dewar Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Exactly 2 years, so where do you get the 4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Luis Padilla Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Craig D ?The iPhone 5 was released on September 21, 2012. That's 4 years ago & it still managed to get the latest iOS update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Craig Dewar Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Luis Padilla Ok but what's that got to do with Pixel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Craig Dewar Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Dar Hilton Thanks for stating the obvious. I couldn't be assed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Luis Padilla Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Craig D I was just wondering since it's a phone straight from Google if it'll be getting more years of updates rather than just 2 years & plus cause they're trying to compete with Apple's iPhone to show them that they mean business.

G+_Mark Stronge Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Going from the Nexus line and what Google have said in the past, It will get at least 3 years of updates, 2 years of software updates and another year of security updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_rante wagner Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Who wants four year old hardware with new software? Another question. Who the hell keeps a phone for four years!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_RONALD HAGERMAN Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Luis Padilla yes but the Apple phones work so poorly with the new updates people go back to the older os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Luis Padilla Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Andrew Uschold So true man. Totally forgot about how features get updated and new ones come out with new phones every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Luis Padilla Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 RONALD HAGERMAN Oh yeah very true. Totally forgot that not all new features work with older devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Alasdair Graham Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm with Andrew Uschold? on this: old Apple devices don't get all of the new features. I have an old IPad 2 which doesn't have Siri for example. So it's a bit deceptive of Apple if they say that all devices get four years of updates. Given that most people change phones every two years or so do we need to be able to get updates for four years anyway? 2.5 years would probably do me.

G+_Tim McCoy Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 My guess is that even though it's two years it will really be 3 because they will still be in production for this model for another year and the people who buy it just before the end of life will get two years.. and everybody will get the same from the last one sold, not the first one.
