Upgraded — Get a new MacBook every two years. From $36.06/month with AppleCare+ included.
Eli Blumenthal, reporting for CNet:
Looking for Google’s new Pixel 9 Pro Fold? You won’t find it at AT&T. The carrier has confirmed to CNET that it will not be offering Google’s newest Pixel Fold to its customers. The decision would be a blow to Google’s device ambitions as it would make it harder for it to reach millions of AT&T customers. In its second-quarter earnings last month the carrier revealed that it had nearly 72 million postpaid phone users. [...]
AT&T sold last year’s original Pixel Fold and still plans to sell much of the rest of Google’s new lineup including the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL and Pixel Watch 3. It will have deals for those looking to upgrade to one of those phones.
Backs up my hunch that none of these foldables — including Google’s, regarded by some as the best — are selling well.
