The Pixel 6a has been on sale for $300 and gets 3 years of OS updates and an additional 2 years of security patches.


Google has promised it gets 3+2 years. We'll see in 2025 how that actually panned out.

Meanwhile my mom is on her second iPhone, the first one lasted for 6 years with OS updates, the current one (SE2020) will most likely get updates until 2025. Two phones in about a decade isn't too bad IMO.


My Pixel 3a held the promise. It got versions 9 to 12 from 2019 to this September before I traded it in for a 6a 2/3 off the MSRP.
