After Microsoft and Samsung, Google makes fun of Apple’s iOS 26 features

Apple announced the iOS 26 update at WWDC 2025, revealing the “Liquid Glass” design. The new look of the OS sparked immediate debate and some playful jabs from tech rivals, particularly Samsung and Microsoft. Google has now entered into the fray by releasing a funny ad that shows a humorous exchange between Google Pixel 9 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.

In the latest ad released by Google, a “Pixel” phone persona playfully questions an “iPhone” persona about its newly announced iOS 26 features. The “iPhone” excitedly describes “live translation for text messages,” “Hold Assist,” and “call screening.”
