The headline is sensationalist since it implies they were going to get a free phone and Google bailed at the last minute.

Really? Because that's how I'm reading it.

while new signups are no longer allowed, existing users will be able to finish out their two-year term. The end of the term was supposed to mean re-upping with a shiny new device, but Google now says, "By the end of the 2 year term, you can’t upgrade to a new phone with Pixel Pass.".
