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.

What I don't get are these price tags.

My last flagship phone was a Google Nexus 6P where the base model was $499. Amazing phone, too bad after 3 years it had a battery issue but the manufacturer gave me a new one.

But the thing is: it was $499.

That was the greatest thing about the Nexus lines - good hardware (maybe not the latest SOC) with regular updates and a good OS experience. I miss those phones.

Google with the Pixels went full goofy mode. I'm not paying 1.140€ for a phone. I have a Huawei P10 that's still running smoothly, just the battery is getting tired... so maybe ill get one of those Pixel 6 Pro :)

But Google pushed away a lot of the Nexus user base, who were hyped every year for the new Nexus.

I think marketing is a big part of it. If they price it cheaper than the iPhone then people will view it as inferior.

But that's the thing with the consumers of the Nexus line - they were fun phones and people knew they weren't "inferior".
