Apple's latest Android joke would have made sense 10 years ago — not in 2026

Apple iPhone 17 review on Android Central.

What you need to know

  • Apple's latest privacy ad depicts Android phones with thick bezels and dated designs that don't reflect reality.
  • The ad focuses on Safari privacy but portrays Android hardware as far more outdated than it actually is.
  • Modern Android flagships like the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Find X9 Ultra look nothing like Apple's examples.
  • The ad feels like another unnecessary jab at Android rather than a showcase of iPhone privacy features.
