To tease its new phone, Google dunked on Apple \u2014\u00a0and soundtracked it to Snoop Dogg.<\/p>\n

In a new advertisement<\/a> for the coming Pixel 10 smartphone, Google took a shot at Apple’s delayed launch of its AI features. Apple announced an overhauled, “more personalized” Siri powered by Apple Intelligence at the Worldwide Developers Conference in 2024, but has yet to roll the feature out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If you buy a new phone because of a feature that’s ‘coming soon,’ but it’s been ‘coming soon’ for a full year, you could change your definition of ‘soon’ \u2014 or you could just change your phone,” the ad’s narrator said.<\/p>\n

The ad then flashed the text, “Ask more of your phone,” along with the launch date of August 20.<\/p>\n

With the camera roving up and down the sides of a jet black phone, Google’s ad evoked the sleek futurism of previous Apple campaigns. The company soundtracked its ad to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “The Next Episode.” Neither Apple nor Google responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Apple launched its official AI bid, a suite of features called Apple Intelligence, in 2024. Some of the features announced at WWDC<\/a> were included in iOS 18, which launched that September. Others, like the Siri integrations for Apple Intelligence, never came.<\/p>\n

In March, Apple officially announced that it was delaying<\/a> the Siri overhaul, a rarity for the company.<\/p>\n
