  "account": "The Pixel 11 series continues Google's commitment to providing spare parts for seven years, a policy it started with the Pixel 8 in 2023. This means batteries, displays, and other essential components should remain available even after the usual phone upgrade cycle. As smartphone prices rise due to the demand for AI-powered features, this seven-year spare-parts promise becomes increasingly valuable. Google currently sells genuine Pixel replacement parts through its repair partners, and also provides repair guides for supported devices. The Pixel 11 series itself has a $100 price increase across all tiers, indicating that buying a new flagship every couple of years may become increasingly expensive.",
  "summary": "The Pixel 11 series will continue to get seven years of spare-parts support. In a market where smartphones keep getting more expensive, that could make long-term ownership a lot more practical.",
