They are updated regularly. If you use standalone version google earth pro you can toggle on historical years to look at different years of coverage. Its very handy.

Updated? From clean full color shots to a straight line where the color is depressed or even stripped off.., u don’t think that’s strange…odd… google can’t provide a clear even color sat photo all
Of a sudden.,.,,hmmmm

The GE aerials are sporadically changed for all coverages, not just the Superstitions, or AZ, to provide the most current and accurate photos. They get their data from a lot of different sources and stitch the coverages together. It changes regularly, as you can see from the Historical Imagery button. The images are not survey-grade for either 2D or 3D purposes, but pretty usable nonetheless. The only time to be truly curious/suspicious is when they pixilate areas out of focus that someone doesn't want to be publicly seen. Antarctica is a good example of this.

• Commercial Providers: Google purchases high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery from commercial companies like Maxar Technologies (formerly DigitalGlobe), Airbus Defense and Space, and Planet.
• Government Agencies: Google also uses free data from government agencies like NASA and the USGS, which collect imagery for various scientific and research purposes.
• Other Sources: In some cases, Google Earth may also utilize imagery from city or state governments, or even capture data from sources like kites, balloons, and drones, although these are less common.
