I love my Pixel 2 and as it is still going strong I don't have any reason to upgrade it other than the battery not lasting 24 hours now though with decent usage.

Since Pixel 2 was the best phone across any OS I have used, I will probably stick with the Pixel line. I don't think I will upgrade this year but hopefully Pixel 5 has good flagship features and is not underwhelming like Pixel 4.

A bit sad and amusing that a physical jack is actually considered a feature now... what's next, removable battery? Expandable storage?

I'm glad there's an option for people who are into vintage technology like headphone jacks. Maybe they can add phonograph cylinders to the next version.

I know lots of people will be really happy with this, but I probably would have traded the jack for water resistance

Agree, water resistance would have been nice but it's not mutually exclusive to the headphone jack. Samsung was doing both for awhile.

I broke the shopping cart by adding two pixel 4a devices + care plans, 1 with a trade-in. Now going to store.google.com/cart returns 500 errors (Error code: TIMM) and support is non-existent. Store chat and phone support look like they don't exist. Off to a great start!

I had this exact issue - try switching your country to something else, and then back to your country again. This fixed it for me

I just moved from pixel to iphone, and the thing I miss the most is the "trusted bluetooth device" mechanism to keep the phone unlocked. I used to have that enabled for my garmin watch, and it kept my phone unlocked for up to 4 hours. This was way, way better than face id or fingerprints during covid (eg, face id does not work b/c of masks, fingerprints don't work b/c of gloves).

Now that you mention it, it’s a little surprising Apple hasn’t done that. It exists on the Mac so why not my iPhone or iPad?

It's not on the Mac, what Apple Watch and Mac does is unlock the Mac when it locks. It doesn't keep it unlocked like the OP mentioned.

Big thank you! Fixed for me too!
