Of course they would. Apple fucking steal their thunder with SE and they have to re-strategize their plan again. Imagine having to compete neck to neck with Iphone with similar price. The result will be disastrous.

That said, i hope this will give a wakeup call to Google. Their phone had been nothing but disappointment since Pixel 3. Pixel 2 was perfect and all they had to do was polishing the rough side a little bit more, maintaining the price and improve the battery.
