Google's New AI Ultra Upgrades Could Cost Pixel Owners Up To $240

Google Pixel 10 Pro owners lose a year of free AI Pro access when upgrading to Gemini AI Ultra. The bundled subscription is valued at $240 and cannot be paused or reactivated. Upgrading permanently cancels the free tier, with no overlap or stacking of promotional offers. Users must either accept the loss of AI Pro or create a separate account, which causes syncing problems. This policy forces loyal Pixel users to choose between free AI features and premium AI capabilities.
