>if they’re not guaranteeing security updates then you still can’t rely on it

As opposed to Google only offering two years of OS updates and an additional three years of security updates after that on the Pixel 6?

Sorry, but every single flagship iPhone since 2011 has gotten between five and seven years of OS updates. Then there are additional years of security updates after that. For example, the $399 OG iPhone SE got seven years of OS updates.

Google needs to step up their game. They don't even have the Qualcomm excuse now that they are having their own custom SOC fabbed.
