Google says it’ll support Pixel 8 series with seven years of Android updates

Two seven-year smartphones.

Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

    I already know what a system app is and how updates work for them. I was questioning what he meant by having Chrome as a system app and claiming years of OS updates. His comment did not make any sense.

      They were talking about old iOS getting a system update just to update WebKit/Safari which then generated quite a few news articles about how long Apple supports old phones. Their comment made perfect sense, they just didn’t know how Android works internally.

        Re-reading the parent comment, I’m not sure if it was sarcasm or ignorance. I guess you should have written this comment to my reply. And the Chrome update thing to that commentor. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
