Samsung's new ad mocks Apple again: there are no foldable phones, just wait

CTOnews.com, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) Samsung released a new "anti-Apple"on the fence" ad this week, once again mocking Apple's lack of foldable devices.

In the ad, a man sits on a fence overlooking a retail store that looks like an Apple store. An employee who looks a lot like Apple asked, "Hey, what are you doing up there? you can't sit on the fence." "but on Samsung's side, they have foldable phones and epic cameras," the man replied. " . His speech attracted another Apple customer who was interested in folding devices, while the fake Apple employee tried to persuade him to leave. "We are waiting for these devices to arrive."

Then the potential Samsung customer replied, "Why, they already have Samsung." The fake Apple employee replied: "because this is our style of doing things, we wait."

Samsung has a long history of making fun of Apple and insulting Apple devices in its ads to promote its products, and anti-Apple ads have risen in recent months, especially because Apple has not yet launched a foldable device.

In September, for example, Samsung launched a campaign to launch folding devices, mocking iPhone's lack of innovation and promoting Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip features. "Apple, what's wrong with the folding machine?" Samsung asked. Samsung also encourages people to "join the Flip camp" and choose Samsung Galaxy Z Flip devices instead of iPhone 14.

CTOnews.com has learned that there is no word on when Apple will launch a collapsible device, and Samsung did start selling collapsible smartphones in 2019. Early folding devices had a long list of problems with screen quality and durability, which may explain why Apple has been waiting for folding devices. Samsung is more durable and has fewer problems than newer foldable devices, but the price is still high.
