Google has committed to making spare parts available for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro for the next seven years, alongside the company’s seven-year update promise. It’s getting out ahead of a California right-to-repair law.
Google isn’t just promising seven years of upgrades for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro — the company says it’ll also stock spare parts for seven years as well. “Parts will be available for seven years. That’s part of our commitment,” Soniya Jobanputra, director of product management at Google, told Android Authority. “e need to make our parts available so you can keep your hardware alive for that long.
Not only does iFixit now sell repair parts for every modern Pixel phone with Google’s blessing and support — up to and including the Pixel Fold’s $900 screen — but right-to-repair will almost certainly be the law in Google’s own backyard next year. We’re currently on the precipice of California signing its right-to-repair bill into law. That law would require companies to offer spare parts for at least seven years “after the last date a product model or type was manufactured.
