AI Summary:
The article discusses the issues with Google’s Pixel 4a battery update. The update has caused drastically reduced battery life for many users, with some experiencing only two hours of charge. Google has offered three options for affected users: a battery replacement, $50, or $100 in Google Store credit. However, the update has been criticized for its lack of transparency and the inconvenience it has caused. Additionally, the update was built on a personal machine, not the proper build system, and has led to confusion and frustration among users.
Recently had a Pixel 5 and sold it after Google stopped support after just 3 years. Ghoulish company. Very happy with my new iPhone.
Ironically, that iPhone will (now) have a shorter support window than the new Pixel.
