Google has released a new ad in its “BestPhonesForever” series, and this one is a bit unusual. Instead of the usual jokes between the Pixel and the iPhone, the two phones suddenly start singing. The ad is inspired by the new movie Wicked: For Good, which is now in theaters.

The video shows the iPhone happily praising the Pixel. It says the Pixel has always been the first to try new things, like removing unwanted objects from photos, screening spam calls and having an AI assistant that can talk naturally. The iPhone sings about how the Pixel inspires it and helps show it the way.

The ad is meant to be funny, but it does not actually explain any of the features. It doesn’t show how call screening works or why Google’s AI assistant is better. It is more about the two phones acting cute and singing together than giving real details.

Google has been making these Pixel versus iPhone ads since 2023, and they have become quite popular online. There are more than 30 ads in the series now. Most of them compare Pixel features with the iPhone or point out things the iPhone still can’t do.
