Now I would really like for Google to retroactively upgrade the Pixel 6 and 7 update support to match the Pixel 8.

[–] jacktherippah 21 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they're not gonna do that. The GrapheneOS team thinks Google will give the 6 and 7 series 5 full years of OS upgrades instead of 3 OS + 2 security tho so fingers crossed.

I'd love it too with my 7a, but there's no way Google does something nice just 'cause. They've already sold the phones with a shorter support window and they gain nothing by releasing more updates for those devices.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with you, hell will freeze before Google does that.
