#BestPhonesForever: A Hilarious Take on Apple’s Latest Move

Google has done it again! Their latest ad in the #BestPhonesForever series has dropped, and it’s all about trolling Apple’s iPhone. This time around, the focus is on RCS, the messaging standard that’s been a major point of contention between the two tech giants. And, as expected, Google is having a blast poking fun at Apple.

RCS for All (Finally!)!

As announced earlier this week, iOS 18 has finally adopted RCS, allowing iPhones to share high-quality images and videos with Android devices. This is a huge milestone, especially in the US, where texting remains a primary form of communication.

The Reason Why

Texting has remained popular in the US due to a combination of factors, including the bundling of texts in phone plans, which occurred earlier in the States compared to other parts of the world. This has led to a unique cultural phenomenon, where people in the US have stuck to SMS for various reasons.

A Hilarious Take on Apple’s Move

In the latest #BestPhonesForever ad, Google tries to be funny, with mixed results. Whether the humor lands or not probably depends on your stance on the iOS vs. Android divide. For us, there are multiple layers of cringe, but others might enjoy the lighthearted jab.

So, What’s the Verdict?

Regardless of your opinion on the ad, one thing’s for sure – Google has once again managed to spark a conversation about the state of mobile technology. Whether you’re an Android devotee or an iPhone loyalist, there’s no denying that RCS is a major step forward in bringing people together.
