Worldsfeed Tech Desk: Tech enthusiasts around the world are eagerly awaiting Google’s ‘Made by Google’ global event, scheduled for October 4. In the lead-up to this event, Google has taken a playful dig at the recently launched iPhone 15 series with a witty advertising campaign titled ‘Best Phone Forever.’ These light-hearted jabs provide a glimpse of the rivalry between tech giants Google and Apple, adding an element of fun to the competitive landscape.
In the advertising video titled ‘Scary Story,’ Google’s Pixel engages in banter with the iPhone, saying, “I am scared about my future. Your big launch event is about to happen. You are going to get all kinds of attention. People will talk about your AI features and design. Along with this, they will also compare, who has the best camera? Who has the best AI?” It’s a humorous take on the anticipation surrounding new smartphone releases.
Pixel then cheekily responds to the iPhone, “You just had a launch event, and we’re still good.” This playful exchange highlights the fast-paced nature of the tech industry, where companies constantly innovate and compete for consumer attention. The iPhone counters by mentioning its recent upgrades, including a new mute button, Dynamic Ireland (likely a reference to features like Live Text), and a new charging port.
Apple has remained silent in response to these ads, allowing Google to maintain a humorous edge in its marketing strategy. Over the past three months, Google has consistently poked fun at Apple’s design and features, keeping the rivalry entertaining for tech enthusiasts.
On October 4, Google will launch its highly anticipated Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Google Pixel Watch 2. Notably, this marks the first time Google will introduce its smartwatches in India, with all three devices set to be exclusively available on the e-commerce platform Flipkart starting from October 5.
