Celebrating the holidays with Pixel, iPhone finds out who gave the Google phone its AI features،

You just have to love Google’s #BestPhonesForever ads. Google takes subtle shots at the iPhone without criticizing Apple and the idea of these two handsets being best friends seems so perfect that even iPhone fans love these ads even though they’re written to make the Pixel look better. Kudos to Google for even updating the Pixel character from the Pixel 7 Pro to the Pixel 8 Pro so the new temperature sensor could be included.

As the latest video, titled “Must Be Santa,” opens, the iPhone and Pixel wait in line to visit a (probably cheesy) mall Santa. Pixel wants to know what the iPhone will ask Santa and the iPhone has the perfect answer. “Uh oh, I want Santa to give me everything he gave you on AI.” Then the iPhone lists some of these AI features like “Magic Editor to remove and rearrange items in photos.”

Another AI feature in the Pixel 8 lineup that iPhone wants is Best Take, which allows the user to replace a subject’s face in a photo with one that doesn’t have closed eyes or a raised eyebrows. And the iPhone will also have Audio Magic Eraser which removes unwanted background noise from audio recorded alongside a video. The iPhone says to Pixel, “You were so smart to ask all this last year. But this year, the big man is going to hook me up.

Pixel comes clean and tells iPhone that Santa didn’t give him all this. This comes from a “group of Google engineers.” To which the iPhone asks: “Can Santa give me a group of Google engineers?” » “Um…” Pixel says and we move on to the tagline that says: “The only phone made by Google.” And as usual, there’s a nice closing scene at the very end.

Comments on YouTube have been positive, with many calling on Google to continue the series. One response read: “Can Santa give me a bunch of Google engineers? » That line was way funnier than it had any right to be. Everyone appreciates the effort put into this, they are so good. The video garnered 1,098,106 views in just 10 hours.
