Pixel 11 Pro Warning: Free AI Deal Has Three Costly Catches

Google has halved the free AI Pro trial for the Pixel 11 Pro, reducing it from 12 months to 6 months, and introduced two additional limitations for power users, according to a Forbes report by senior contributor Paul Monckton. The trial now requires a payment method on file and auto-renews at the full price unless canceled, and it excludes certain advanced AI features. This change affects users who previously received a full year of the AI Pro service with their device purchase.
