      next

      pixel arriving with older os at launch
      iphone with latest one (pixel circling around)

      then

      pixel showing off gemini ai stuff
      later iphone using ai with google and chatgpt (iphone asking user permission to send data)

        I find this to be more an ad for apple then a trolling from google.

          [deleted post]they don't openly show it, but they are like that.

                Notice how Samsung and Google always try to troll Apple, whereas Apple just shrugs and acts like they don't exist.

                  It is ironic that Google is trolling Apple about RCS late adoption when they currently have RCS bugs that compressed image to MMS quality making the whole switch to RCS useless. Both Apple and Samsung don't have this bugs.

                    Bought a pixel for my dad. He liked it better than his previous iPhone.

                      I have the feeling only few people around me even know what RCS messaging is. And here I am, still using WhatsApp/Telegram because of that.

The ad is selling to Americans who don't buy Chinese phones; they want to buy "American" - Apple, Google and, er, Motorola. Motorola still sounds American, right?

                                  like seriously, americans only like Pixels cus they're the only clean alternative to Samsung, that's it. if Google wasn't american then they'd have failed and folded 10 years ago. only the power of paying influencers is keeping them alive. or they're just bleeding money in terms of product sales but google doesn't care cus they get people into the google ecosystem/cloud services and sell their info.

                                    RCS is an abomination.

RCS is so old that many carriers outside the US actually had dropped support for it ages ago as they realized people already moved on to chat platforms that are independent from carriers.
