Fuck is Pixel going to go away? Apparently the pixel 9 sold well

[–] Dlayknee@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

I can't imagine so, they're only just now prepping the first pixel phone on their own in-house CPU (pixel 10) and development is underway for the following generation (pixel 11). To axe the line now would be crazy.

Maybe they just want to downsize cause there isn't as much to do nowadays when the OS is so mature?

This is not the way to do that. This is a way to get rid of your best people because, as the United States government is about to find out, when you offer a voluntary exit to people with a severance package the ones who know they have ability and are competent will take that package and leave and get better jobs. And the ones that know they suck or are too lazy are going to stay. There's actually a list somewhere of companies that have done this and have gone under because of it.

Probably the aim of the failed state to be fair. Privatise talent, leave behind people alienate and blame. Shithole country.

The Pixel 9 Pro is incredible. Writing this on it right now. I love it. Previously had the 6. I'll be sad if they go away, for real.

I have pixel 9 which is my first pixel phone. I agree

it's got 8 years of updates right? You think it'll last until Google comes back into a pro hardware phase?
