New Samsung Ads Poke Fun at Apple Live Stream Issues, iPhone 6 and Apple Watch

Lamest company ever and lamest android phones ever

Thats your opinion, but all it does is make you look bitter and gives the trolls more satisfaction!

Whilst I love my imac and ipad, moving from an iPhone 5S to a Galaxy S4 was the best move I've ever made. Different materials, but the quality is just as good (maybe even better as if it scratches i simply replace the rear case (whilst accessing extra memory and battery!)

To call a company the size of Samsung, who also make other industry leading products like TV's, lame; and Galaxy products lamer (have you actually tried a Note 3!!!) just makes you look stupid ... and wrong.

I'd also point out, based on the specs of the latest Apple phone; their presentation and the watch to some, if any company is lame then ... well ... maybe that company is actually Apple!
 
Just came in here to read all the negative comments from people who take things so personally. Thanks for not letting me down.

I prefer Samsung adverts to watching Jonny Ive talk BS in a creepy voice for 15 minutes!!!
 
Quicktime & Firefox

Why did it not work with Firefox and why need to have quicktime, what did Steve Jobs say about plugins such as flash and quicktime!

It's okay, Apple will be the ones laughing all the way to the bank when they have record iPhone sales again.

I wonder how many customers will be jumping from the Samsung Galaxy phones to the iPhone 6 and 6+ because of the screen size. We will see.

And how many will not buy, because screen size has become too big?

These ads are perfect for Samsung's target audience -- nerdy teenage boys obsessed with tech specs, one-upmanship, and bragging rights. These, after all, are the kind of people who buy Samsung's gear. The rest of us can just ignore them.

Samsung makes about the worst Android phones out. You screwed up if you bought one over an HTC One, Sony Z3, LG G3, etc.

Yes, they are funny. However, is the point that you can buy an extra battery for their phone? I believe the extra battery for the latest Samsung galaxy is $50. You can get a battery-extending case for the iPhone for a similar amount. Not sure what the advantage is for Samsung. It still costs money to extend your battery life.

I have an original Samsung spare battery in my car for my Galaxy S4 (which I've never used - battery usually lasts 2-2.5 days). It cost me £11 (OEM ones from £6) and that's much preferable to having to buy a jacket (increasing size and weight by a 3rd!)

Sorry, but pulling silly figures out the air and trying to make out a jacket is some sort of USP over and above the ability to simply remove the rear case and replace the battery ... its just food for the trolls!

Typical Samsung. If you can't do, then talk crap about the competition.

But isn't that what Apple did against Microsoft ... or was that ok because it was Apple talking crap?

Over 400 posts on here show that they aren't being ignored. In fact - many people seem to be genuinely and personally offended. Or come of that way.

That's the thing. I don't think they have an ad agency to fire. :D

These are kamikaze youtube videos - not actual advertisements

These commercials are just troll bait. Has anyone actually seen them on TV?

No - they aren't and wouldn't be on TV.

Speak for yourself. Everyone here is an Apple owner, which makes people feel like they're part of a community.

What? Why would the fact that I happen to own some electronic device make me feel like a part of some community? I have a Logitech mouse, am I a part of that community as well? What about my HP printer? How many communities can I be part of?

At least they're not insulting end users in these ads. Seems like they're pretty scared Apple will gobble up the large display smartphone market...which it probably will.

I thought the specs of the new iPhone were enough to insult their end users!

It's ok to many here because they will give you a list of reasons why it's not the same. And that it was in the past. And because Apple has class and Samsung doesn't. And so on.

I haven't watched the samsung ads and won't bother as it's a waste of time

Just curious then why you clicked and then posted. It's worth your time to tell us it's not worth your time? Odd...

The batterys for the Note starts from 5$. The difference is that a battery extension will make your smartphone much thicker as an extra battery of the same mAH.

Every time Samsung bring these kind of adverts, people here saying i dont care, but how comes these threads get always 300+ replys? Does is it hurt more than people are willing to admit?

Typical Samsung ad. Preaching to the choir. You'd think they'd make ads that appeal to people who want to switch to Samsung or are on the fence.
Click to expand...

Uhh-uh... Just like live-streaming you big product launch, targeted to sway millions of customers from your competition, but only making the stream viewable by those who already have your products?

If you see a stylus, they blew it. Doesn't Samsung realize the stylus is a turn-off?
Click to expand...

No, it's a turn-on, and a major selling point for the device.

Speak for yourself. Everyone here is an Apple owner, which makes people feel like they're part of a community. But aside from that, I'm sure many people here are stock-holders and you're kidding yourself if you think Apple employees aren't reading this site.

Regardless, these ads are really dumb. In a couple weeks no one will be talking about the keynote anymore. Also as someone else pointed out, I'd be willing to bet the majority of Apple's customers don't watch the keynote streaming live (if they watch it at all). Most of them probably come here or other sites and just read about the new products.

Samsung rely ought to establish themselves as a premium brand, not make petty attack ads against their competition.

To your first point - someone is going to have to explain how the internet works to you. Because there's no law or rule that says you must own Apple hardware or software to post here. Some do. Some don't. Some are all Apple. Some have a variety of devices.

As for your latter point. The ads are timely and clever in that they immediately poke fun of something currently trending. In a few weeks - the ads AND the keynote issues will be forgotten. Which is exactly WHY Samsung threw some guerrilla type ads up on youtube NOW and not in a few weeks.

Yeah... Apple is so lame that Samsung has to attack them 2 days after their keynote hahahaha

Don't look now but your lack of knowledge is shining bright.

Phone 6 is circa 2012, that's how far behind Android they are.

Yet to be fair Apples done a wonderful job of distracting their buyers, getting them to believe specs and the latest components don't matter.

The amount of money this saves Apple is massive. It's why their the richest tech company.
