TL; DR

Basically pixel 6 series has not received an update for the past two months. The pixel 7 series missed out on this months update. If the Pixel 7 series does not get an update this month. Update strategy could be changing for older Pixel phones.

Expect quarterly updates for older Pixel phones. Based on number and timeline of updates being made available for older pixels.

The Pixel 6 series has not received an update in 2 months straight while missing 3 out of 5 months – the Pixel 7 series has (so far) only been left out in the most recent November update. Both should still be supported through 2026, 2027, and beyond, we’re just starting to question what the cadence for updates will be going forward. I bring this up because folks who own these devices are likely wondering where their updates are after seeing the November update drop today
