Samsung need to just advertise their products and point out the things that make their product stand out, instead of bad mouthing another company of their products.
So what if Apple have plenty of improvements needed, but so do a lot of companies in certain areas of different products.

Depends which way you look at it - as an Apple fan you see it as Samsung running scared. As a fan of technology, not any certain manufacturer, i see it as Samsung capitalizing even more on a poor effort by Apple!
Buddy that wasn't Apple's idea. They took that one from Motorola ATRIX 4G
Samsung is right. Apple's hardware is quite silly comparede to the competition. In anyway. BUT APPLE has a KILLER OS that apperantly does not need the speed and RAM android does.
Did you never see the Apple v's Microsoft adverts ... or does that not count because its Apple, and they can do anything they like and its all ok?
Lets be honest, Apple did copy samsung this time.
I hope Apple copy Sony Ericsson and iOS 6 someday...

Just a guess... But Apple Pay is dead in less than 2 years. There are already sooooo many other solutions out there.
You may not have noticed that Samsung sales and profits have been rapidly dropping.
You mean to the years when Apple got lucky with a viral music player?
Or rather a few years forward when Apple got lucky with a viral tablet?
So much luck! Unbelievable!
Samsung: the jealous little brother. 
Funny how they constantly "poke fun," when we all know damn well Samsung wishes they got the coverage and hype that Apple does. Their never-ending envy is pretty apparent. Samsung just advertises 24/7 and people who think iPhones are "too expensive" buy into it.
However, I'm really sad to see Apple fanboys go after the writer featured in the commercial. His life has been made pretty miserable just because his opinion is different. Sad. Apple fans have the idea planted in their brains that the company is still some small thing like it used to be, and that if you don't like Apple, you're clearly inferior. News flash: it's now the biggest company in the world; no need to defend it nonstop.

They only dominate cause Apple doesn't release over a hundred phones a year and have phones from $29 up to $1000 that's why, if you opened the floodgates with iOS then I'm sure we would say more vendors would choose iOS over android
If Samsung and Apple released the same phone, Samsung in 2014 and Apple in 2015 the Apple-fanboys will believe the Apple phone is far-better and play off the 'more refined' card.
It's the harsh reality of the fans of different tech today. A company says black and the oposing fans will say white.

If you can't beat 'em, bash 'em?
To me mentioning your competitor at all, in your ads, is like a Marketing 101 "Don't". Smells like outright desperation
Sure, Apple had the "I'm a Mac" ads a while back. But they were a little more tongue-in-cheek than these Samsung spots. More playful. These are just basic, blatant and unimaginative.
On the one hand though, that new-fangled stylus seems supremely innovative! Kudos.

Some may ask what value your post has to MR........
The reason they post these is so all the usual Apple groupies will come in and parrot the same old, tired lines they always do when Sammy comes out with a new ad...... Apple makes fun of someone ala apple vs PC it's edgy and cute. Any one makes fun of apple's customers and it's sad, tired, immature....... See how that works?
I find their commercials funny....... Even funnier are the typical responses you can surely rely on to be here.
Viral with iPod builds a huge fanbase and pot to eat into with a new product = less struggle to sell. But you are brainwashed if you believe Apple didn't tread on competitors toes to get an upper-hand.
Newbies
These is so good, watching the "newbies" and the obvious trolls coming here and posting everything they can to make Samsung look good, even FUD.
With all Android OEMs (besides Samsung) on the red, and Samsung making less and less money yearly, Apple is going to capitalize big time with the iPhone 6 and 6+.
Samsung's sales are going to plummet, and it will happen fast. Glorious! The note 4 is already outdated and part of the past even before being released. I mean, look how pathetic they are: Trying to associate screen size alone and stylus as innovation but itself. So a 6" phone is more innovative than a 5.9" phone? How pathetic.
Apple is going to make a killing.

I was considering getting a GN4 this time around instead of an iPhone. It all depended on if Apple released the 6+ model. If they stuck with only the 4.7" model I would have gone GN4, given it a try for a year or two and maybe come back to apple after I decided if I liked it or not.
Certainly glad the 6+ came out. Should be here Friday.

There are a few attacks against Apple that are very easy to make and therefore people love to repeat them, even though they know they are wrong.
There's the Mac & PC adverts. Which were _funny_. One actor and one excellent standup comedian. Didn't show anything that all the PC users didn't know anyway.
"Good artists copy, great artists steal". Used to accuse Jobs + Apple of theft. Actually, these people accuse Picasso of theft. And show that they are just too stupid to understand that quote.
"Apple copied Dieter Rams". There's a series of very cleverly arranged products created by Rams that are supposed to demonstrate that Apple copied him. If you take these objects and rotate them by 30 degrees, suddenly any similarity disappears.
... mainly due to saturation and low cost competition from other Asian manufacturers ... the ones which are going to start hitting Apple hard very soon (especially in China); more so now their latest product appears to be, spec wise, two years behind the competition. Then factor in the stupidly high price .... well, lets wait and see!
NB did you not notice Apples share price drop only a few hours after the presentation!
