======================================================================Google 
has released a video poking fun at the rumored iPhone 17 redesign As well as 
highlighting its similarities to the Pixel line, the video also highlights 
other Android features the iPhone has borrowed But Google has also been known 
to seemingly take inspiration from Apple 

The biggest and most prevalent iPhone 17 series rumor weve heard so far is 
that these upcoming phones will sport a new, more Pixel-like design , and in 
a new video, Google has teased Apple about this potential design shake-up. 

Posted by Google's Made by Google account on YouTube , the video comes as 
part of the companys '#BestPhonesForever' series, which features a talking 
iPhone and a talking Pixel. 

In the new clip, the two phones talk about the iPhone 17's big design rumor, 
as well as how the iPhones Night Mode landed a year after Pixels Night Sight, 
and how Clean Up on iPhone launched three years after Pixels similar Magic 
Eraser tool. The video also highlights widgets, which had been present on 
Android for many years before they first appeared on iOS. Check it out below: 

Its a funny video, but as the talking phones themselves say, this iPhone 17 
redesign is just a rumor for now, so it may not happen. Copying can be good

It seems likely that Apple's design shake-up will happen, though, given how 
many times it's been rumored. But even then, the rumored iPhone 17 series 
design isnt that similar to the Pixel 9 Pro's. 

Sure, it includes a horizontal camera bar running across the back (just like 
on a Pixel), but its positioned higher on the iPhone, and in the case of the 
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, its also a lot bigger than on any Pixel 
9 model. 

And as for the other things the video highlighted as being copied from Pixel, 
well, theyre all just good ideas, so it benefits everyone if versions of them 
are available on a wider selection of phones. 

Lets not forget, too, that Google has also arguably copied Apple at times. 
For example, just last month, Android got an auto-reboot feature that wed 
already seen on iPhones. But again, a good idea is a good idea, so tempting 
as it can be to poke fun, we dont really have an issue with any of the above.
