But then I'd be stuck running an OS (Android) that's less secure, has more privacy issues and has an inferior App ecosystem.
No thanks.

Samsung Ad Encourages iPhone Users to Switch to the Galaxy Note10 and 'Fall in Love' With Bokeh Video

Not possible. iPhones do not have ToF (Time of Flight) sensor. That's what Samsung uses for this feature.
I actually would say that slofies is a cute but sort of useless idea, implemented very well. This “bokeh” video is a good idea, implemented terribly. Neither is a strong selling point. It’s pathetic that this is what Samsung is using for an ad to get iPhone users to switch over.
If you've been using Apple products for a while, you're using their ecosystem. Switching from iMessage if you've used it for a long time isn't a simple process, if you've bought songs, apps, those don't transfer.
It's not punishment, the same goes the other way if you leave Google Play and the investments you've made there (if any)
Seems to happen every single time MacRumors posts an article like this. Hate to say it, but they are part of the problem.
" This means iPhone users are FAR more loyal because they can only use iPhones"
That's not loyalty. Also, you can say that Android users stay loyal to Android. Having multiple smartphone vendors is a big bonus.
Lol Samsung, you are starting to look a bit desperately always poking on Apple.
Instead of bloating your software with social media apps and other half baked features, just work on improving reliability of your software which is where you fall short and leave Apple alone.

Samsung should just install stock android and promise to keep the OS supported for 3 years minimum in a timely manner and that will sway more people. They hardware is excellent the software though needs to be stock.
I tried the Note 10+ and sent it back. I rely on biometrics for security and passwords and the fingerprint reader is trashNah, I’ll be sticking with Apple! Thanks for trying tho Samsung
I generally don’t like articles like this that Macrumors post, it’s almost like as if there are intentionally trolling by posting what Samsung says about the iPhone. These types of discussions never really seem to end well, it’s mainly bickering. But the point is, you (The user) choose the platform you’re happy with, that’s all that matters, Samsung is obviously is trying to sway iPhone users and vice versa with Apple, but you’re choosing the platform, _not_ the hardware.
That's just one of sooo many extra features the Note10 has that Apple will probably copy at some point in the future.. Note 10 users will forever have much more features in their smart phones that Apple simply won't compete on that moment in time. Apple simply does thing a different way, and that's how it will be.
Doing this in the real world probably would have ruined a valuable moment. Not sure how refined Samsung’s system is.
I own a note 10 plus. The bokeh video is awful. Absolutely awful. Can't wait for my 11 pro max to come next week.
Couldn't agree more, in fact Google suffers the exact opposite, software is good and hardware looks extremely bland and dated (obviously you are data mined to death but their stock apps work well and android as their own OS is a huge plus).
Apple went from top-notch hardware and software to placing the notch at the top, toy-ish design, dated weight, screen & bezels.
