The new 60-second video is fittingly titled “Pass the Baton.” The iPhone and Pixel are in a bar with the Olympics playing on the television set in the background. It seems that iPhone can’t figure out why, in a relay race, the runner with the baton gives it up for the next runner waiting to take his turn. Pixel explains it perfectly. He says that the guy with the baton takes it as far as he can go before giving it up to someone fresher and faster with more energy who can keep the current pace going.
Of course, this being a Google ad, iPhone says that he is keeping his baton and tells Pixel to get his own. Pixel says, “iPhone, I’m starting to feel like this isn’t about a baton.” Google then hits us with a backdrop that reads, “Get ready for something new,” and we see the camera bar and the rear panel for the Pixel 9 Pro. We are then reminded that the Made by Google event is coming on August 13th.
