I'm really glad to see both the partnership with iFixit and the 7 years of support. Because everything else seems mostly meh to me, and while I'm upgrading this year from a Pixel 6 Pro, the continued diminished returns make it seem likely that 2-3 years from now I won't have as much reason to.

Damn, it may be time for me to move back to Android. Do Pixels require the updates to be sent by your carrier, or do they allow direct download?

While the downloads do come directly from Google, they work with the carriers, who can delay the updates until they have a chance to look at it and ensure they're happy with it... whatever that means.

IIRC you can download the images from Google via web browser and flash manually, but not sure if you can still do that, and I've never tried it myself.

Yes you can still can. https://developers.google.com/android/ota#cheetah

In fact they even host all the images dating back to the Nexus lines still.
