    I’m not sure I get your point, people should not doubt Google’s promise not because they don’t discontinue product but because everyone does?

      I think more Pixel’s a true flagship product. Big Tech corps are always launching likely contenders, then they evaluate them over time and if the benefits don’t realize or they find a better product it gets discontinued.

      But some products are proven. The only way Alphabet and Apple would discontinue their flagship phones is if there’s some kind of mass turn away from mobile phones. Same as how Alphabet is not going to exit the search engine field.

      More that the concern feels hyperbolic. You should feel as much concern of Google canceling a flagship product as you do about apple doing so. I don’t see iPhones, pixels, or say, Kindles going anywhere soon.
      It just doesn’t feel like a reasonable concern, proportional to how much attention it gets.

        I doubt people takes apple claim for granted either, they do have a class action lawsuit due to them volontarily throttling their phones.
