Overview

• Google’s latest “Best Phones Forever” spot stages a playful exchange between an iPhone and a Pixel to mock iOS 26 and preview the Pixel 10 launch.
• The ad underscores that features such as live translation in messages, Hold Assist and Call Screening debuted on Pixel devices years before Apple rolled out similar tools.
• Styled in the vein of Apple’s Mac vs. PC commercials, the new installment is also being shown in movie theaters ahead of summer blockbusters.
• The clip stops short of revealing Pixel 10 hardware but fuels anticipation for unconfirmed additions like a ‘Magic Cue’ feature.
• Industry chatter suggests Google may unveil the Pixel 10 on August 13 with a design largely mirroring the Pixel 9’s signature horizontal camera bar.
