Google trolls Apple on its late adoption of RCS in new video ad

21 September 2024
It's the latest installment in the very cringe #BestPhonesForever series.

Sort by:

Scoring to own goal? RCS is a VERY old standard (2007) that Google also only recently woke up to support.....

(though it was not in 2007 what it is today)

This sort of ads will only give Apple fre... moreexactly. apple is intentionally withholding features so they can introduce later on and get more customers whereas google is unable to even match up to the standards set by other manufacturers. the only one getting trolled is google themselves. Apple isn't just two steps but rather a whole mile ahead of them. Samsung too. And Chinese manufacturers are lightyears ahead of both in a lot of ways but also worse in others. There seems to be no "perfect" phone.

I mean Apple customers already have their minds set on iPhone regardless, and now those on the fence no longer feel the need to buy a Pixel phone for RCS. They would think “oh look at that, even the iPhone can do it, so I’ll just get the iPhone then”.

      Apple literally is already 2 steps ahead of Google in marketing without having to do anything,

        It could be worth mentioning that yes Apple was late... But so was Google.
        RCS exist since 2008. Carriers started deploying in 2012. Famously Orange *abandoned* their RCS server because Apple **and** Google didn't want to implement it.

          Anonymous, 21 Sep 2024Slower by name, but not by nature (FIFA commentators). :D ... moreeven a Galaxy A55 is smooth nowadays and would look smoother than your phone as well due to it having a 120 hz display. you're the perfect example of why people shouldn't always think about performance of "flagship" normie phones. you're content with 60 hz, just like base iphone users are. most tech "enthusiasts" don't get it cus they're narrow minded. pretty sure most people who make fun of the base iphones for having 60 hz displays are the same ones using at best a galaxy A33 or something.

          im not defending apple, im just saying that it makes sense if the consumers like it. the same people who make fun of apple also glaze google and samsung for doing the bare minimum/doing barely nothing. make it make sense.

            nice ad ngl

              Can we also troll Google for selling overpriced products with subpar SoC and an old hardware for its cameras when other companies are selling superior phones with better SoC and cameras for a fraction of the price?

                Using a Pixel 6a since day 1 and it's still running like day 1 (super smooth).

                  Its Milan, 21 Sep 2024yeah everyone knows how disappointing it is to gloat about ... morei was talking about pixels. not android in general. current pixels are slower than 2 year old flagships. that's horrendous.

                  you're gloating about windows games whilst playing older ones, ofc older games are gonna be easy to run, tell me you don't know much about tech without telling me. like i understand iphones suck for gaming but they're the only ones with these triple A games. android might have more power but they don't have access to it, officially at least. I don't get what sort of point you're trying to prove, you just made a new point and "owned" me just for the sake of doing it. weirdo

                    The same Google who made fun of LG's smartphone market exit? Don't make me laugh, the Pixel is the least reliable phone I've ever owned. Even though I now use Sony as my primary phone, my old V60 and its Dual Screen case is still going strong and still delivers crazy great battery life with 9 to 10 hours of continous SoT.

                        apple doesn't even need to make an ad about their performance to destroy google, everyone in the world already knows this lmao
