      Yeah, it was literally one “cycle”, it’s right about time for people to start getting trading in their phone and getting the new version that they got the Pass for.

      I don’t need a new phone every year, but I liked the security of the Pass idea, similar to Apple’s plan.

      Who knows why Google does these things. I doubt they know.

    Frodo would have had a much easier time destroying the One Ring if he’d gone to Google HQ and convinced them to offer Rings of Power as a subscription service

    The pricing wasn’t bad for what you got, not a bad option if you couldn’t buy the device outright.

      This isn’t related to the Google Play Pass, if that’s what you’re thinking. Pixel Pass was a subscription for the actual hardware, not for apps.
