Google Pixel

For 6a owners affected by the software update in July 2025 that reduced effective battery capacity after 400 cycles, you have less than a month to claim your $100 cash, $150 Google Store voucher or free battery replacement (or equivalent in your country).

After July 8, 2026, these support options will no longer be available.

TL;DR

• The Pixel 11 series will reportedly ship with Samsung’s latest M16 OLED display panel.

• The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may also feature the same panel.

• Assuming release dates follow existing patterns, the Pixel 11 series should be available some weeks before the iPhone 18 series.

Pixel phones ship with locked bootloaders even though we own the hardware Android users deserve the freedom to modify devices we paid for Manufacturers weaponize security updates to prevent community development This control model treats device owners like untrusted third parties Open source communities prove people can maintain secure software without corporate gatekeeping Your bootloader lockout is not security for you it is security for Google FOSS principles require respecting user sovereignty over hardware we own How much longer will we tolerate phones that we cannot control
