Google has mocked iOS 26 features in a New Pixel Ad, Pointing to Android's five-Year Advantage

Google has released a new commercial as part of the Best Phones Forever series, in which it humorously emphasized that many of the features presented in iOS 26 have long been available to users of Pixel smartphones. The video is published on the official Made by Google YouTube channel and continues the concept of dialogues between impersonated Pixel and iPhone devices.

In the center of the story is a discussion of the so-called "innovations" introduced by Apple in iOS 26. These include real-time translation of messages and calls, intelligent call filtering, and smart hold. During the conversation, Pixel reminds the interlocutor that these features appeared on Google devices long before the release of iOS 26 — at least five years ago.

Google emphasizes that the technologies that Apple is just starting to equip its smartphones with have long been part of the standard functionality in the Pixel line. The company uses advertising to promote its artificial intelligence and on-device data processing solutions that enable these functions.

The video ends with an iPhone phrase addressed to Pixel: "What are you working on for Pixel 10? Just out of curiosity...", hinting at the further development of Google technologies and leaving intrigue regarding future announcements. The ad campaign highlights Google's confidence in the technological leadership of its smartphones in the field of smart features and user services.
