The comment ended with, “iPhones don’t take the best pics.” The crowd cheered, and Osterloh laughed, saying, “We hear that a lot.”<\/p>\n Neither Google nor Apple responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n Jimmy Fallon showed Rick Osterloh, Google’s SVP of platforms and devices, a Reddit comment saying “iPhones don’t take the best pics.”<\/p>\n Google<\/p>\n Next, Fallon spoke with Adrienne Lofton, Google’s VP of marketing.
