What good is an "open" culture if you can't patch things yourself anyway?

You should have read on ;)

I'll put LineageOS on it as soon as the guarantee runs out.

Edit: I'm not sure myself why @guarantee. Maybe something else breaks...but actually it's just a habit I guess.

(sorry for the answer here but I can't answer directly to your comment. Too deep down...)

Why do wait so long?

(Serious question. What use is the guarantee if your device is hacked? Will they pay indemnity if that happens during guarantee?)

Google Pixel is (mostly) open, receives timely updates, and you can also flash images yourself if you'd like. You don't have to get an iPhone.
