Google has once again decided to poke some fun at Apple. It rolled out another one of its #BestFriendsForever ads, even though the hashtag now is #BestPhonesForever, for some reason. This time around, the iPhone talks to the Pixel, and admits it’s scared about the future.
The iPhone is scared about the future in Google’s latest Pixel ad
This ad takes place in the forest, in a spooky setting. It starts with the Pixel 7 Pro telling a scary story to an unnamed iPhone. For legal reasons, the phone has a case on, and a model is not mentioned, but it looks like one of the ‘Pro’ iPhones. Google also clarifies that ‘iPhone’ is Apple’s trademark.
In any case, the scary story is about a physical QWERTY keyboard, and the Pixel got cut off by an iPhone during it. The phone admits it’s worried about the future. Then mentions that a Pixel event is coming, and that the attention may be shifted to it.
Google decides to throw shade at Apple via this ad, as it gets iPhone to mention the Action Button, “Dynamic-er Island”, and a USB-C port as its only “innovations” (referring to the iPhone 15 Pro series). The Pixel 7 Pro is trying to comfort the iPhone, of course, as was the case a number of times thus far in these ads.
A phone with a QWERTY keyboard makes an appearance too
Towards the end of the ad, a phone with a QWERTY keyboard jumps out, and scares both devices. They all become friends at the end, though. It’s another fun and entertaining ad from Google, and yet again some fingers were pointed.
As many of you know, Google’s Pixel event is coming. It will take place on October 4, or in other words, on Wednesday next week. The Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the Pixel Watch 2 will be announced during the show.
The company’s upcoming devices have been leaking intensively over the last couple of weeks. So there’s really not much to hide at this point. Still, Google could have some aces left in its sleeve.
