Let's just look at the phone that the 5a adopters (me) would be getting from their store.
You start off with the Pixel 7a at $499. There's an immediate $250 credit that is applied over the next 2 years. This drops that price to $249. Pixel Pass users get a $100 bonus credit. Now it's at $149. Then there's an immediate $85 trade-in bonus. So now we're at $64.
Gosh, Google sure is doing me dirty by charging me $2.67 instead of $12 a month.
- incrudible 3y agoI don't see how your math checks out. From the article, let's say you started the service at introduction with the Pixel 6 (22 months ago) and it cost $45 per month. Today, you would have spent a total of $990 on that phone (which was worth way less than that at launch) plus services. You now have a used phone worth $200 tops and $100 in "store credit". That seems like a crappy deal unless you value premium Google services a lot.
- MisterBastahrd 3y ago... read what I wrote instead of attempting to put your own spin on it. It's LITERALLY my current deal.
- incrudible 3y agoThere is no way I can not make sense of it. For how many months have you paid, how does that add up? How does your case relate to the average case?
