The pixel 4a only had a guaranteed update life up to 2023. And again if you read the article it’s to prevent your phone from exploding. I know it’s annoying, my wife has an iPhone and Apple seems to do this shit on every model older than 2 years old. But if the 4a is 2 years past its promised “service time” then why not just get a 9a that has a 7 year “service time”? I know it’s easier to complain and bitch about it but when the pixels first started coming out their guaranteed updates were NOT long to begin with.
