You know what? Good. Endless increases in speed/soc is unsustainable. I would much rather have increases in QoL things, like a larger battery (or in the case here, a brighter screen). Make the only change from the previous year adding back in a Micro SD card tray, something like that. And a $499 price tag seems reasonable for 7 years of software support. Now if we could get the wild form factors from the non-smartphone era…
removed for profit motive pushing you to cloud ongoing revenue (much as I want it, wierdly Sony XPeria is the holdout of the mains here, I guess for music). A script or two can fix that by cycling content through what you have.
Sony also has the headphone jack I think. But Sony’s phone releases have gotten ahem much less frequent. I don’t think even the company is treating it with much foresight (I forget the last time I saw a Sony phone in somebody 's hands).
Google fi is running it for preorder at 249 for 128gb and 349 for 256gb.
But I agree unless there are some major upgrades the yearly releases in most of the phones are no longer needed. Until we have holographic screens or direct to brain support or something else that is ground breaking I doubt there are going to be much more than incremental changes.

Love the low price. I’ve been buying the pixel A out of pocket for years. Hate having to pay things off installments. Just give me a cheap phone
