My main issue with Pixels is their price, even the Pixel A. They are completely unaffordable new, and only hit below $300 when they barely have any support yet (or are used). I don’t mind using an EOL phome because with short support like on phones it is unavoidable, but that would be after alreafdy overpaying.
Well, too bad for them then. Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway. So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot, just not absolutely insanely so.

Yes, as I said, they’re stupid.

No, it doesn’t. And no, it’s not. $450 gets you a SIGNIFICANTLY better device than $200. Probably 95% of available phones are well over $200. Just because you personally can’t afford it does not make it “egregious”.

Have you priced out any comparable phones? They’re practically a steal at their discounted prices.
Most people around me carry budget phones under $200. so no, far from a steal.
I mean, that’s fine, but that absolutely does not make a $450 phone “completely unaffordable”…
Most people around me carry $1k+ iPhones.
You live in a richer area then. Most people where I live make less than 1k a month.
They’re not rich, they’re just stupid. They pay $25/mo or whatever for 80 years.

I would only buy a used one anyways. Even when they’re pretty new you can get good deals on swappa, even for new in box ones
