The depreciation between Pixels and iPhones is staggering.

Trade-in in Germany on Google Store page:

- Pixel 6 Pro 256gb ($999 on release) - 235€

- iPhone 13 Pro 256gb ($1099 on release) - 730€

While I am partial to Googles line of phones (had pretty much every Google phone since the nexus one), the loss of value is something I cannot really ignore any more when deciding to buy a phone.

This means best way to buy a pixel is few years after release, and even better if it's a used one. I recently got Pixel 4a and believe i can easily keep using this for at least 2 3 years.

The 4A doesn't get security updates anymore though, right? The language on the website says "guaranteed until at least August 2023" so I guess it's up to Google's good will.

Do security updates really matter that much? May be they do depending on your usage patterns. I think anyone will be fine without most of those security updates. Also most of the slowdowns are caused by automatically updating apps which keep gaining weight with every update.

This is a particularly badly-timed comment. Not even a month ago there was a 10/10 severity vulnerability in webp, including Chrome, that could let your phone get pwned by serving it a video, and people have confirmed it is being actively seen in the wild. Security updates absolutely do matter.

You can keep updating Chrome and most apps long after OS updates have ceased.
