Overview
- Google released a new BestPhonesForever ad that riffs on the Wicked: For Good movie, with a purple iPhone cast as Glinda and a green Pixel as Elphaba.
- The lyrics praise Pixel features such as fixing photos, screening calls, and offering an AI assistant for natural conversations.
- Google’s script suggests Pixel introduced several capabilities before iPhone adopted similar tools, including call screening and image clean‑up.
- The ad rolled out on YouTube and social platforms this week, drawing positive fan comments, though the reactions are anecdotal.
- Coverage notes the playful tone continues the long‑running Apple–Android rivalry rather than resolving it, and the spot offers little technical detail.
