Also I never compared prices for the Pixel 8 Pro with the US,in fact I never even mentioned the US, I was comparing prices for the Pixel 8 Pro to previous Pixels which is a $300 increase,so again I'm not sure where you're coming from there. I bought a Pixel 8 Pro from the Google Store for my sister (from the rebate I got for my Pixel 7 Pro) and I have been keeping a close eye on the stock in store to see if it has dropped in price and I have not seen it OOS, I also Googled 'pixel 8 pro out of stock google store australia' and there were no reports of it being out of stock so I'm 'not really sure where you got that from'.
