"By the end of the 2 year term, you can’t upgrade to a new phone with Pixel Pass."

They're not honoring that part of the deal.

[–] chameleon@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Upgrading would have involved signing a new 2 year deal. It's just a fancy-sounding financing program; the 2 years were to pay for the device they've had for 2 years. I'll never understand the appeal of buying a high-end/expensive phone on such a program because you'll be stuck paying for something outdated by the end of it, but shrug, that's not unique to Google.
