KEY POINTS
- ā¢Google increased its 4K TV Streamer price from $99 to $149 recently on its Store and Best Buy.
- ā¢This price increase came a few weeks after the Pixel 11 phone launch, which also jumped $100.
- ā¢Amazon still offers the streamer at the old price, as the tech world grapples with component shortages.
Just weeks after politely asking Pixel 11 fans to cough up an extra $100 compared to the Pixel 10, Google boldly slaps a $50 price increase onto its 4K TV Streamer, soaring from $99 to a wallet-emptying $149. This gadget, which also doubles as a smart home hub ā because why settle for just one tech-related financial regret? ā launched in 2024, back when people were blissfully paying less. The price hike is live on Googleās Store and Best Buy, while Amazon clings desperately to the original price like itās a sinking ship. Component shortages are the usual scapegoat here, but really, itās just Googleās way of saying youāre streaming luxury now.
