At this point, given how much Samsung is making off their exclusive OLED supply deal with Apple, I think Samsung will actually be better off advertising for he iPhone X 
Got a tip for us?

You’re absolutely right. Mea culpa.
It’s not mine, it’s the host of others: restaurants, my father-in-law’s, my window tinter’s (who probably forgot he told it to me and probably wouldn’t again), my friend’s friend’s place where I crash once in a while, etc. etc. Yeah, I could’ve 1Passworded them but I didn’t and I’ll never know what many of them actually are. And without an encrypted backup, they die with my phone.
I just can't figure out why Samsung isn't poking fun at actual weaknesses, like viewing angles or burn-in...
Android OS though... With Samsung S on top of it... *barf*
It’s not the MR forum posts. It’s the YouTube video view count (which MR is semi-advertently promoting) which they’re watching and to which I for one won’t bother contributing.Too bad MR users fall for this. Imagine if MR posted this and there was NO posts. Then the joke would be on Galaxy.
But we all fall for it like the commercial that says "you can't say cheese without smiling." And everyone in the room says "cheese"
A lot of personal preference being touted as fact around here. It's just sad many of you are too blinded by your loyalty to a brand that you can't see you all face the same issues, shilling for a corporation that only cares about separating you from your money. It doesnt matter what phone you like, one is not better than the other as it's all personal preference.
Use what works best for you and move on, don't waste your life on pathetic arguments like which phone is "better".

This is from a Galaxy owner: maybe Apple can show how untimely Samsung updates are, how bloated Samsung software can be, how less optimized the software is, and how hard it is for people to get good customer service?
Oh really? How come you’ve held back on us the info from all the times you’ve been present at company/team meetings inside Apple.
Preach it brother. Apple does some great things. So does Samsung. And they both do some dumb things. Personally I hate the X. Why a is everyone racing to remove bezels? Tired of the bezeless craze. In 3 years we will all be carrying slabs of glass and we won't be able to tell our phones apart. LOL
Why would Samsung waste their money on this commercial? The high price of the iPhone X should be enough to keep the majority of Samsung's current customers in markets where Android phones dominate from switching to the X (countries in Europe/Asia).
It's funny though...
Apple is a step behind, late, or completely missing features that the other guys have. It's been well documented.
Yet Samsung is obviously threatened by the iPhone since they spend so much time talking about it in their commercials.
Seriously... look at all the Samsung commercials that have iPhones featured in them somehow. It's been more than a few. Quite an obsession.
So maybe the iPhone isn't really as behind or as late as you think.
Remember the year Apple sold over 200 million iPhones... without waterproofing?
Samsung remembers...
Pretty grand statement from someone who also doesn’t know anything about the S-Pen. As someone who’s owned nothing but iPhones until the Note 8, once you actually see all of the things it can do (rather than just assuming it’s a stylus) then there’s tons of things that everyone can find very useful.
I’m not sure why so many people are debating the S-Pen. Even Apple has admitted it’s a good idea as they have the Apple Pencil. Heck, you can’t even do as many things with the Apple Pencil as you can the S-pen.
At least I can bring my phone on an airplane
Really? That’s all you both can come up with in defence for Apple after 4-5 Things Samsung made fun of, both your topics are not relevant with Note 8 since time of launch. Samsung is showing things relevant to each timeline the lineup relevant with the dumb hair cut and those doing the same things with iPhone.
Would’ve LOVED to see Samsung making fun of Animoji - curious why they did not.
Very well made commercial tastefully done and accurate to show Apple’s marketing preferences over the years.
We’ll see how many switched from Apple to Samsung SGS 8 / Note 8
I just tell the person my phone number and have them call me right there.
Then we BOTH have the phone number in our phones.
Yes... we still have to type our names into the field... but at least we have the phone number instantly. That's the most important part, after all.
Samsung got triggered big time otherwise they wouldn't spend any penny on a ridiculing ad. Though I must admit I like the ad but doesn't affect my appreciation of the iPhone or iOS ecosystem.

oops I didn't notice that
Yikes, back to these tactics again? I prefer the below commercial, it’s a much better way to showcase their product imo...
So you are participating in this thread without even watching the video? It's fine if you swear by your device, but its always good just to have the understanding of the competition. Even if I disagree with someones opinion, I'll still listen to what they have to say, to try and get an understanding of where they are coming from. Give it a watch, even some die hard Apple fans find the notch jab funny.
Also, the Mac vs PC ads weren't really about the users, they were about the experience. They weren't telling people "hey you are stupid if you are a windows user", they were telling them "hey look how much more fun you can have if you used a Mac instead, and we also have these cool, hip productivity apps yo".
