Google has released a new ad poking fun at Apple’s iPhone 17 series for reportedly copying the Pixel’s design. The ad features a conversation between a Pixel phone and an iPhone, discussing rumors about the upcoming iPhone 17’s design. In the ad, the Pixel phone says, “There are a lot of rumors circulating about iPhone’s upcoming redesign.” The iPhone responds with disbelief, saying, “Can you imagine me doing the same thing you did first years later?
The conversation then goes back and forth, with the iPhone admitting to following Pixel’s lead on several features:
– Night Sight and Night Mode
– Magic Eraser and Clean Up
– Homescreen widgets
The Pixel phone reminds the iPhone that widgets have been a feature on Pixel phones since the first version nine years ago.
Google ribs iPhone 17 rumors
The ad ends with the Pixel saying, “Anyway, we want to remind everyone that these rumors are just rumors!” The iPhone mimics the line, leading to a frustrated Pixel saying, “Oh, come on!” and the iPhone responding innocently, “What?”
This ad is part of Google’s ongoing “#BestPhonesForever” campaign, which has been creating clever and sly jokes between Google Pixel smartphones and Apple’s iPhones. While the ad aims to highlight Google’s innovation, it also acknowledges that in today’s mature smartphone landscape, it’s inevitable that different brands will copy or build upon features.
The competition between tech giants Apple and Google continues, with each company leveraging marketing strategies to outdo the other, often with tongue-in-cheek humor. As the smartphone wars persist, users can expect more innovations and friendly jests between these industry leaders.
