To give you some idea how little impact buying or not buying a pixel has: if you were comparing it to buying new, keeping it for six years and every dollar of your purchase went directly to google as profit, the $800 phone would be 1/322million-th of the revenue generated by that segment of the company during the time you use the phone. You’d be granting google 0.0000003% of their revenue in that segment over that period.
Because the phone isn’t actually all profit, and has to be designed, manufactured, marketed, warehoused, transported to market etc. the actual impact of buying or not buying a pixel phone on googles bottom line is even lower.
