IMHO this was a good deal for Google, you paid $1300 for getting a phone worth $800 AND due to the subscription you were entrenched in the walled garden giving all your data to Google. Win-win for them

This never made it to outside the US, what exactly was it? (the linked help page doesn't actually say)

"an all-in-one subscription that bundled together your choice of Pixel phone, Preferred Care protection, Google One cloud storage, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and (optionally) Fi Wireless service."

From https://9to5google.com/2023/08/29/google-pixel-pass-ends/

Started at $55. Shame it never launched in the UK (or elsewhere)

Wow thats a really great offer imo, especially if you don't mind giving all of your data to google

Another one for the list of things killed by Google because it wasn't instantly making truckloads of money.
