Notices the same pattern with tech stuff and kitchen gadgets (always seems to happen right after you buy in). Feels like companies are just constantly testing ideas on us without any real commitment. Makes you not want to get attached to anything new anymore.
Google promises software updates for their Pixel phones for at least three years. I mean, that shows they are in it for the long haul, not just testing ideas. Sure, some kitchen gadgets disappear fast, but brands like Instant Pot keep supporting older models with new recipes. Companies have to try new things to make better stuff, or we'd be stuck with old tech forever. Maybe it's just me, but I find that exciting, not a reason to avoid new products. If everyone waited for a sure thing, innovation would just stop.
Wait, only three years of updates is their big promise? That’s supposed to prove they're in it for the long haul? My old blender got more support than that! It just seems crazy when you think about how long we actually keep phones. Honestly, that kinda feels like the bare minimum, not a real commitment.
