Politixia
, about a month ago, released a series of ads for Pixel phones making fun of
iPhones
. The company has now released another ad in the #BestPhonesForever series taking a dig at
Apple
for being unable to offer Live Translation feature.
In the ad, Google is highlighting that the feature can translate any supported language quickly. While all Android phones have the Live Translate feature, on Pixel phones, the feature is said to be better among competition. Reason: Most Android phones have to translate through the cloud but
Google Pixel
devices running Tensor chips can do it on-device.
What is the ad
The advertisement shows Google Pixel 7 Pro talking with iPhone 14 Pro on soccer..errr.. football.
“You know Pixel, this tournament (probably a reference to the FIFA Women’s World Cup currently underway in New Zealand and Australia) has taught me that no matter our differences, there are some things that unite us,” the iPhone said.
“So even though you’ve got Live Translate, and can automatically translate messages in over 20 languages…I’m fluent in the one language the whole world understands,” it added.
“What’s that, iPhone?” Pixel 7 Pro asks, and then iPhone replies, “Soccer”, and both the phones engage in a “friendly” conversation where Pixel translates “Football” in multiple languages, including Hindi, while iPhone is stuck calling it “Soccer” repeatedly.
Translation in iPhones
It is to be noted that iPhones have translation abilities, thanks to the Translate app that allows users to translate text, voice, and conversations between supported languages.

In the
, Google pointed out quite a few features that the iPhones lack, including reverse charging in the iPhone, no astro mode in the iPhone camera, not having a USB Type-C port and the iPhone admitting that it is “jealous” of the Pixel’s AI.
With these ads, Google joined Microsoft and especially Samsung in taking digs at Apple. Samsung has been at the forefront of taking digs at Apple through its ads. Samsung recently took potshots at Apple with its Fold and Flip series.
