Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Lots of misunderstanding in these comments. Google Fi service is not going anywhere, Google is not cancelling any services. The Pixel Pass is basically just a bundle of optional services that can be added to your Fi account for a very slight discount. You do not get a free phone, you get interest free financing on your phone. Because they are cancelling the Pixel Pass Google has given me $100 credit towards my next phone, which is a better deal than the Pixel Pass itself.
Like many people I'm not happy with a lot of things Google has been doing lately, but the Pixel Pass being cancelled is not important.
Thanks for pointing out that typo, I fixed the credit amount
I hate Google as much as the next guy but I don't think switching to the product of an even more capitalistic company, one that is completely locked down and doesn't allow you to install your own OS, is actually a good solution…
Damn. Shoulda kept your Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it.
I'm so glad I keep seeing the "just GOS it", I greatly prefer my GOS pix6 to the stock one. As I said in an earlier comment in this post, I just can't switch the stock one over fast enough!
Except that you're lying
That's 12.50 cents a month. You could have literally cancelled at any time.
