Google has started rolling out the November 2019 security patch for its Google Pixel devices.

This time around though, Google is not rolling out the November security patch for the original Pixel and Pixel XL marking the end of their life. The handsets were released back in 2016 with the promise of receiving two years of Android updates and three years of security updates.
As per Google's promise then, the handsets should have stopped receiving security updates after September but the company still rolled out the October security update for them.

Google promises that all new Pixel phones and devices will receive OS and security updates for three years from release.

Meanwhile, the Iphone 7 released roughly a month earlier, is still being updated.

Absolutely pathetic.

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL will get “one final software update” in December, the company confirms to The Verge. As of yesterday, it looked like the original Pixel was done getting updates [...]
Google tells The Verge that the Pixels won’t get that November update, but it says December’s “encapsulates a variety of updates” from the November and December updates that were issued for other Pixels.

That said, Google surprised Pixel owners earlier this year by letting them run Android 10, which is one more year of Android than Google originally promised, and now, they have one final update to look forward to as well.
