"Google's Near Miss with the Pixel 9 Teaser"

Google missed the opportunity to tease the Pixel 9 on Pi Day by not incorporating it into their traditional Pixel phone promotion, which spells out the first digits of Pi. With the Pixel 9 set to release later this year and having already been leaked, it would have been a perfect opportunity to tease its arrival. However, Google used an upside down Pixel 6 instead, and the chance to incorporate the Pixel 9 into the Pi Day promotion has likely been missed.
