Same here. I upgraded to a Pixel 8 just before the 9 came out. My previous phone was a Pixel 3. The only reason why I changed was because the GPS died on the 3. That’s a function I consider critical these days.
Also, the extended software updates on the 8 and the ability to charge the battery to 80% to extend its life. I plan on keeping this phone until it’s dead.

Same, always. I’ve had good luck on eBay, but I’ve done swappa once or twice and they’re not bad either

Yeah, Swappa is pretty solid for tech stuff like this.
A bunch of people who upgrade every year put their phones on sites like this. So when you do need to upgrade, you don’t have to spend nearly as much. Conversely, if you do upgrade regularly, this lets you get some of your money back, lessening the blow.
