Is Pixel 9 worth it? (instead of Pixel 8) (lemy.lol)

I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I want to switch to an Android phone.

First of all, I eliminated all Chinese phones. Since Samsung has limited custom rom support, I gave up on that too. At the end, I decided to get a Pixel because of its GrapheneOS support.

But right now I'm stuck between Pixel 8 and 9. There's a big price difference with small improvements. I can afford both but not sure if Pixel 9 is worth it. What do you think?

No, the Pixel 6 still gets regular updates until October (so I'll probably get Android 15) and security updates for another two years.

Those ones get 5 years. Newer ones get 7.

Oops! I confused my old Nexus 6 with Pixel.
