After pictures of the iPhone 17 series leaked online, the design was pretty divisive on the internet. Many also drew comparisons with Google’s Pixel series. Not to shy away from taking a jab at Apple, Google made a hilarious video in response to these rumors. So let’s check it out.
Did Apple Copy Pixel? Google Thinks So
To recall, a leak from back in April shared leaked images of the iPhone 17 Pro cases. This offered us a look at the iPhone 17 series’ new rear design, with a large bar like camera module. Many immediately claimed that Apple is copying Google’s iconic bar shaped camera module, more popularly known as Visor. However, it is still a stretch to call this an idea stolen by Apple. Regardless, the images were just leaks, and there is no official word regarding such a drastic redesign.
But this did not stop Google from releasing a funny new ad. In its latest #BestPhonesForever series episode, the Pixel and the iPhone can be seen conversing with one another. The two are portrayed as friends, but the iPhone is shown to clearly lag behind in terms of features. The video is shot in a typical podcast formula with the duo addressing the recent rumors. The iPhone starts it off by saying, “Can you imagine me doing the same thing you did first years later,” which is meant to have Apple come across as naive.
But before a proper response, the iPhone continues to list all the features that Apple brought a year or two behind Google. This included features like Night Mode, which made its first appearance in 2018, while Apple introduced it on iPhones in 2019. Similarly, the Magic Eraser was debuted in 2021 but only managed to come to the iPhone in 2024. All of these are clear jabs thrown by Google, but the fun and lighthearted manner of the video added a hilarious touch to it.
