I dont think Apple has made reference to any samsung product in their ads have they? after that whole Mac vs. PC campaign back in the days their ads have been focusing on what their products do only, unless I missed something.
Yeah, since those super clingy Mac vs PC ads, I don't think Apple has really made any ads that attack their competitors. It's mostly been a Samsung thing lately. Personally I think it just shows that Samsung is really worried about Apple, while Apple doesn't care, at least not publicly.
I mean, we all remember the Note 7 event where they ragged on the iPhone. That literally blew up on them
I think the main concern here is that both companies are touting emojis as their main area of innovation going forward.
The forehead on the S9 looks uglier to me than the notch.
I'll never understand people getting so attached to any of these companies. Neither of them gives a rat's ass about you.
The new Samsung phone looks nice, but I don't like the long body. I'll be holding out for a iPhone XI plus, or whatever they plan to call it.

Exactly! The only proper screen shape is a rectangle. This phone effectively has four [small] notches ruining the screen's usability. Not saying it's worse than Apple's horrid notch design, but it is still wrong.
Apple belittles the competition by making far superior products and being, by far, the most successful tech company. The "competition" can only dream of that level of success.
When you're #3 it's expected that you talk smack like in UFC, boxing, sports, etc. Samsung is #1 so they have to be a bit more humble and talking smack will do more harm than good like how contender Ronda Rousey showed poor sportsmanship not touching gloves making her look much more of an ahat after getting the beat down by Nunes. Difference is fans will continue to be your fans if you're #1 and lose being humble vs abandoning if you're an ahat.

A 3.5 mm headphone jack, lol? This phone is a museum piece even before it's released, *facepalm*
Apple extremist: Triggered the ports don't line up on the bottom of the phone!
Apple extremist: I love the symmetry!!!
"And as always, you know there's more wasted screen real estate on the top and bottom of the phone..."
A shot at Samsung using Xerox as an example to back Apple is pretty ironic. Had it not been for Xerox, Apple would have not existed today.
Are you for real. Rhetorical question. After Apple made the exact same design of chin/home button, forehead & side bezle for 10 straight years. Who added that notch last year & says they'll shave maybe a millimeter off of it this year. This is how you choose to view the innovation, or there lack of. Wow.

You do realize Apple is being sued for copying an already trademarked design?

I do like Samsung keynotes better, because when it came to "there is no notch" remark about the X, there was silence...
No laughter from the crowd,,, just "utter silence"
Dunno if anyone was just trying to grasp that concept, or weather they didn't wanna nudge it on.
If this was an Apple keynote, there'd be hysterics going on by now.

Anyone hanging around here will think the notch is a crime against humanity, but most people don't actually care-- they want to see the state of the art move forward. If your laugh line boils down to "we couldn't figure out how to do anything better so applaud us for giving you the same as last year", the audience is left underwhelmed.
Tout how you've innovated a new solution to a competitors problem, not how you failed to innovate one. "Aren't you glad we didn't try" isn't a crowd pleaser...
Complaints about the notch are mostly manufactured outrage. It sounds like Samsung thought it was a badge of tribal affiliation. It's not. It's something to complain about while people wait for something better.
