7 years of OS support! That's the kind of stuff I like to hear.

Now I would really like for Google to retroactively upgrade the Pixel 6 and 7 update support to match the Pixel 8.

Yeah, they're not gonna do that. The GrapheneOS team thinks Google will give the 6 and 7 series 5 full years of OS upgrades instead of 3 OS + 2 security tho so fingers crossed.

I'd love it too with my 7a, but there's no way Google does something nice just 'cause. They've already sold the phones with a shorter support window and they gain nothing by releasing more updates for those devices.

Until Google decides to change its mind 🙃

Lol, there's a non-zero chance that Google cancels the Pixel series.

Definitely great to hear. It's too bad they're not bringing new pixel software features to older devices though. It'd be a great way to differentiate their lineup from the iPhone.
