There are some in India, but I don't think that ever happen in the US. Since Google is going after Apple, it should go with high end which ends up being expensive.
I think Google may support these phones like Apple does, and that means for years. I do think they might discount the old models when new ones come out. Although part of me would like to see a three hundred dollar Pixel.
I don't think so. I don't want them to. Google should keep integrity of Pixel brand price is at premium level. Only then it can compete with Apple line.
